DTX-DEN: Impact 10/15/2025

Denton County election workers will track how many voters report to the incorrect polling locations during the Nov. 4 election, Denton County Elections Administrator Frank Phillips said. The elections department will also track how many redirected voters end up getting to vote.

The context: Denton County voters must vote at a specific polling location in their precinct of residence to vote on election day. Voters can cast their ballot at any location in the county during early voting for both primary and general elections.

In order to eliminate redirects and mitigate voter confusion, activists and the Denton County Democratic Party have advocated for the county to implement countywide election day polling, also called vote centers, which would allow voters to cast a ballot at any polling place in the county, just like early voting.
