Allen voters are set to head to the polls on Election Day, Nov. 3, to decide the 2026 midterm contests and two major bond proposals that will affect Collin County schools and infrastructure. The turnout matters for residents because the outcomes will determine representation in U.S. House and Senate races, Texas state legislative seats, and funding for local projects.
According to Community Impact, the ballot includes several items of particular interest to Allen citizens. Collin County voters will consider a four‑proposition, $817.5 million bond package, while Collin College proposes a separate $600 million bond. Both measures aim to finance school construction, upgrades, and other capital improvements.
In addition to the bond questions, Allen voters will select candidates for federal offices, including U.S. House and Senate seats, and for Texas state offices, such as the Texas House and Senate. The guide notes that detailed candidate Q&As are available on the outlet’s website.
Polling locations in Allen are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day. Voters may cast their ballots at any polling site within Collin County, with the following Allen locations listed: Allen ISD Professional Learning and Auxiliary Services (610 E. Bethany Drive), Allen ISD Service Center (1451 N. Watters Road), Allen Public Library (300 N. Allen Drive), Christ the Servant Lutheran Church (821 S. Greenville Ave.), and Lovejoy ISD Administration Building (259 Country Club Road). Voters must present a valid form of identification, such as a Texas driver’s license, Texas election identification certificate, Texas personal identification card, Texas handgun license, U.S. military ID with photo, U.S. citizenship certificate with photo, or a U.S. passport, as required by the Texas Secretary of State.
Election results will be posted on Community Impact’s website as they come in on election night, providing residents with real‑time updates on the outcomes that will shape their community.
What’s next: After the Nov. 3 vote, the Collin County Commissioners Court will review the bond proposals before any funding is allocated. Residents should monitor the county’s official channels for announcements on bond approval dates and the timeline for any subsequent school construction or infrastructure projects.
