Election Day in Tarrant County is scheduled for November 3, and the county’s elections office reports that more than half of the roughly 1.37 million registered voters have not yet cast a ballot. The deadline for in‑person voting is 7 p.m. on Election Day, and voters who are in line before the polls close are legally entitled to vote.

Early‑voting totals

During the early‑voting window of Oct. 19‑30, about 572,000 voters turned out to vote in person at one of the county’s 223 polling sites. In addition, the elections office recorded roughly 22,000 mail‑in ballots as of Monday.

For comparison, the 2022 midterms saw about 389,000 early‑in‑person voters and roughly 23,000 mail voters. The 2018 midterms attracted nearly 433,000 early‑in‑person voters and close to 37,000 mail ballots.

How to vote

Registered voters can cast a ballot in person at any of the 223 polling locations between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Election Day. The county’s elections website provides tools for checking registration status, viewing a sample ballot, and locating the nearest polling place.

Ballot races

The November 3 ballot includes a full slate of county, state, and federal contests. Voters will choose a county judge, county commissioners for Precincts 2 and 4, a criminal district attorney, a district clerk, and a county clerk. The ballot also lists candidates for Texas House seats in the Fort Worth and Arlington areas, Texas Senate seats, and the U.S. House seats that represent Tarrant County.

Local elections also appear on the ballot, including members of the Tarrant Appraisal District board and several school‑board positions and bond measures.

Resources for voters

The Fort Worth Report’s nonpartisan Tarrant County Voter Guide offers detailed information on each race, candidate, and ballot measure. Readers can access the guide and additional election coverage through the Report’s Election Central archive.

Election officials remind voters to plan ahead, verify their polling location, and consider early‑voting options to avoid long lines on Election Day. Those who arrive at the polls after 7 p.m. may still vote if they were already in line before the closing time.

Looking ahead

As the day progresses, the Fort Worth Report will update this story with vote totals and results as they become available. The county’s elections office will continue to post official tallies throughout the evening.
