Can you vote anywhere in Fort Worth on Election Day? Where voters can go to the polls

Election Day is here, and many registered voters will wait until the final hours before polls close in Tarrant County to cast a ballot.

Of those voters, some might travel to their neighborhood polling location to perform their civic duty. But what if you are in a time crunch and want to vote anywhere within the Fort Worth area without needing to do so near your home?

Is that even possible?

Currently, 99 of 254 counties in Texas allow voters to cast ballots anywhere in their county on Election Day, according to the Texas Secretary of State’s Office.

Can you vote anywhere in Tarrant County on Election Day?

On Election Day, if your county participates in the Countywide Polling Place Program (CWPP) – commonly referred to as ‘Vote Centers’ – you can vote at any location in your county of residence. Most large counties, including Tarrant County, have countywide voting.

If your county does not participate in the CWPP, you can only vote at the voting precinct assigned to you, according to VoteTexas.

How to find your polling place

Your Fort Worth residence is located in a specific “precinct” or area within the county where you will vote on Election Day. In some cases, precincts may be combined to accommodate joint local elections.

You can find your voting precinct location by using our search site, “My Voter Portal,” which will be populated with voting sites two days before Election Day.

Election Day voting hours are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at all polling places statewide. For questions regarding polling places, always consult your County Elections Office.
