Early voting for the November 3 general election begins Monday, Oct. 19, offering Sherman residents a convenient window to vote before Election Day. According to KXII, early voting runs through Oct. 30, with specific hours varying by county, allowing voters to avoid the crowds typically seen on Election Day.
Grayson County, which includes Sherman, provides eight early‑voting locations. Voters can cast their ballots from Oct. 19‑24, 7 a.m.‑7 p.m.; on Oct. 25, 11 a.m.‑5 p.m.; and from Oct. 26‑30, 7 a.m.‑7 p.m., as reported by KXII. Sample ballots for Grayson County are available online, helping voters verify their choices ahead of time.
The ballot features several high‑profile races that will directly affect Sherman and the surrounding region. At the top of the ticket, Texas voters will select a U.S. Senator, with Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton facing Democrat state Rep. James Talarico. Governor Greg Abbott and Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick are also up for re‑election. In the U.S. House, Rep. Pat Fallon (Texas 4th District, covering Grayson, Fannin and Lamar counties) and Rep. Brandon Gill (Texas 26th District, covering Cooke County) are seeking new two‑year terms.
Local legislative contests include Rep. Shelley Luther (House District 62, Grayson and Fannin counties) and Rep. David Spiller (House District 68, Cooke County). Additionally, Lamar County voters will elect a new House representative for District 1 after incumbent Gary VanDeaver stepped down, and they will choose a new state senator.
What’s next: Sherman voters who cannot vote early should plan to vote on Tuesday, Nov. 3, the official Election Day. The city’s election officials will provide polling locations and hours closer to the date. Residents are encouraged to review sample ballots and verify their polling place to ensure a smooth voting experience.
