« Legislative News Collin County: Choose Your Polling Place November 3
During the upcoming Election Day, voters in Collin County will no longer be restricted to their precinct polling places. Collin County was recently approved by the Secretary of State’s Office to give its voters the opportunity to cast their ballots at any county polling place for the Constitutional Amendment election to be held Nov. 3, 2009.
In a recent article in The Dallas Morning News, Collin County Judge Keith Self said he believes county voters “will like the ease and convenience.”
Currently, three other counties have approved election plans to provide countywide polling places to their voters: Lubbock, Galveston and Erath counties.
Lubbock County was the pioneer county in the state approved to offer countywide polling places and convey the concept to their voters. The county received a 2009 Best Practices award on behalf of the Texas Association of Counties and its Leadership Foundation for achievement in technology.
The countywide voting pilot program in Collin County only includes the Nov. 3 election.
