The countdown to Denton County's March primary starts on February 17, when early voting officially opens and runs through Friday, Feb. 27. During that window, any registered voter in Denton County can cast a ballot at any early voting center in the county. If you are holding out for the main event, Election Day is Tuesday, March 3, with polls open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The county has built in evening and weekend hours so voters have more flexibility on when to show up.
When The Polls Are Open
The early voting schedule is divided by day, so hours shift as the primary approaches. From February 17 to February 20, polling places are open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. On Saturday, Feb. 21, things ramp up with extended hours, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 22, is a shorter day, with polls operating from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Then, from February 23 through February 27, early voting centers stay open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. These times are set by the county and summarized by FOX 4.
Where To Cast Your Ballot
Denton County lists 55 early voting locations spread across the county, so most voters should not have to travel far to find a polling place. The county also provides an interactive map to help you zero in on the nearest site. Both the full list of locations and the map are available on the Denton County Elections website.
Need-to-Know Rules And Mail Ballots
