It is recommended that Brazoria County VDRs who find it difficult to attend the in-person training take online training offered by Harris or Travis County.

VDRs certified in other counties can take their certification to the Brazoria County Elections Office at 1524 E. Mulberry, Suite 150, Angleton, TX to be certified.  If you are a former Brazoria County VDR you can call the elections office at 979-864-1074, and they will email an application form to you. You will need to return that completed application to the election office or mail it back to them. They must have the application with your original signature. You will also need to provide  a copy of your certification from the other county. VDRs new to Brazoria County will have to go to the office in person.
