🗳️ What to Watch for in the Texas Election — Nov 4

🕖 1️⃣ Polling Hours & Locations

Polls in Texas are open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. If you’re in line by 7 p.m., you still have the right to vote. ✅

Most DFW counties — including Dallas, Tarrant, Denton, and Collin — use the Countywide Polling Place Program, which means you can vote at any polling location in your county, not just your assigned one.

• 📍 Collin County Elections Department

🪪 2️⃣ Bring the Right ID & Verify Registration

Texas requires one of seven forms of acceptable photo ID to vote in person (like a driver’s license, passport, or military ID). Don’t forget to bring it with you! 🪪

🏙️ 5️⃣ Local Impact: DFW Focus

Local elections have a big say in how our communities grow — from school budgets to city infrastructure and neighborhood safety. 🏫🚧

For DFW residents, key local items may include:

• 💵 School district and bond measures in Dallas ISD and Fort Worth ISD
• 🏠 City propositions on housing and property taxes

Every local vote shapes the region we call home. Engaged communities = stronger representation. 💪
