DALLAS — Dallas County voters should plan ahead: early voting for the May 26 primary runoff runs May 18 through May 22, with polls open each day from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Voters across Dallas County can use any early voting center in the county, and the county provides an online location finder and a printable list of addresses for convenience.
Early voting offers flexibility, letting residents avoid Election Day lines and lock in their choice early. The window from May 18 to May 22 gives several chances to stop by a voting center that fits your schedule. Polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. every day during that span, so you can swing by before work, after school pickup, or in the evening.
In Dallas County, any early voting center will accept your ballot regardless of where you live within the county, so you don’t have to hunt for your assigned precinct on election day. The county maintains an interactive map and a downloadable document listing every center and its address. If you prefer a printed list, the county’s election office posts a full schedule and locations that you can review before you go.
If you have questions about your ballot, polling locations, or how the process works, the quickest route is to contact the Dallas County elections office directly. Staff there can confirm whether a location is open, what items you should bring, and other logistics specific to this runoff. They are the official source for last-minute changes or clarifications about voting procedures.
County election offices across the region also publish their own early voting schedules and location lists. Nearby or neighboring county election offices include Anderson County, Bosque County, Collin County, Cooke County, Delta County, Denton County, Ellis County, Erath County, Fannin County, Freestone County, Henderson County, Hill County, Hood County, Hopkins County, Hunt County, Jack County, Johnson County, Kaufman County, Lamar County, Navarro County, Palo Pinto County, Parker County, Rains County, Red River County, Rockwall County, Somervell County, Tarrant County, Van Zandt County, and Wise County.
For general information about voting, voter eligibility, and frequently asked questions, statewide resources offer helpful overviews and guidance on what to expect at the polls. Those resources explain registration deadlines, accepted forms of identification, and the differences between early voting and Election Day procedures. If something in the county schedule seems unclear, the statewide FAQ pages can supplement answers but should not replace direct confirmation from your county clerk.
Practical tips will save you time at the polling place: bring a valid form of identification, know your options for the ballot, and plan your trip during off-peak hours when possible. Early morning and late afternoon on weekdays often see fewer lines than midday lunch hours. If you need assistance at the polling location, election workers are available to help with ballot questions or accessibility needs.
Remember the key dates and times: early voting runs May 18 through May 22, polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and the primary runoff is set for May 26. Check the Dallas County election office for the most current list of early voting centers and addresses before you head out. Showing up informed and prepared makes voting faster and keeps the process running smoothly for everyone.
