Williamson County Coverage
What you need to know about Williamson County election day voting changes

Williamson County voters participating in the March 3 primary election will use precinct-specific voting locations on election day, even though countywide polling locations will remain available through early voting.

Explained: Although the Williamson County Elections Department manages early voting, the Republican and Democratic parties are responsible for election day procedures, County Elections Administrator Bridgette Escobedo said.

For the first time since 2013, the Williamson County Republican Party opted for precinct-specific polling locations, which in turn requires the local Democratic Party to follow suit.

Digging deeper: Republicans plan to operate 79 polling locations, combining some of the 177 voting precincts. The Democratic Party plans to operate 46 polling locations. These numbers have not been finalized and are subject to change, according to officials from the Republican Party.

Voters can check county voter precinct maps to identify their updated precinct, which went into effect Jan. 1.

Specific polling locations, for both early voting and election day, have not been released yet. Early voting locations should become available next week, Escobedo said.
