Tarrant County approves Nov. election voting sites
With election day fast approaching, the commissioners unanimously approved early and election day voting sites for the Nov. 3 special and general election.
Early voting sites will be available across the county. Early voting starts on Oct. 13 and runs through Oct. 30. There will be 50 sites participating in early voting including colleges across the county such as UT Arlington and Tarrant County College. Texas Christian University will not participate as a polling location for this election because university officials wanted the county to enforce face coverings on voters, which isn’t possible.
The approved early voting sites also includes a contingency plan. The commissioners can vote to amend the voting schedule and add eight additional sites if the early voting turnout is too big. They would vote for this on Oct. 20.
Whitley said the goal is to keep the crowds down and keep people safe while they vote during the pandemic.
For Nov. 3, there will be 332 locations for voters, Heider Garcia, the county’s elections administrator, told commissioners.
