Know Before You Go: Early Voting Reminders, Turnout Expectations
Harris County reported 104,201 ballots on Day 1, far above the 63,000-record set in 2018, officials said.
- Early voting for the Nov. 3 general election began Monday, Oct. 19, across Texas and runs through Oct. 30. Registered voters may cast ballots at any designated location within their county.
- Tarrant County officials closed 92 polling sites to save $1 million, leaving 224 open for the midterm election. Some Democrats argued the consolidation amounts to voter suppression.
- Texas law requires voters to present one of seven approved photo IDs when voting in person. Those lacking ID may complete a Reasonable Impediment Declaration and present an approved supporting document.
- Multiple counties reported record-breaking first-day turnout, with Dallas County seeing 76,079 voters and Travis County reporting 40,777. Analysts interpret these numbers as reflecting high voter engagement.
- Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3, with polls open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. statewide. The nonpartisan Election Protection coalition at 866-OUR-VOTE provides assistance with voting issues.
