Map: Find Your Nearest Dallas County Voting Location

Surely you’ve heard by now, you can vote early in the Nov. 5 general election. It’s all the rage these days. In fact, it’s so much the rage that counties around North Texas are reporting impressive amounts of early voters through the first week.

So far, the number of early votes in Dallas County is keeping up with the pace set in both the 2016 and 2020 elections. It's even higher in Denton County than it was last time around. Turnout in Dallas County has been robust enough that the county has opted to extend its hours for polling locations for the remainder of the week.

Impressive turnout, of course, also means the potential for long lines and the occasional bit of controversy. Technical glitches caused long lines in Dallas County early last week, and in Tarrant County, a single example of a man's vote seemingly being changed between marking his ballot and entering it into the system garnered a grand amount of headlines.

But luckily for Dallas County voters, there's a webpage to help you combat the unexpectedly lengthy voting wait times that can hamper your day. For those waiting until Nov. 5 to vote, this site works for that as well.

Where Can I Vote?

This Dallas County Vote Center Finder offers a color-coded map where you can locate each polling place in the county, then find out how long or short the wait is at a given moment at a given location. This isn't just for early voting; there's a tab on the top left of the page for checking in on Nov. 5 as well.

How Long Will It Take To Vote?

You can click on the colored dot to get specific wait times, or you can get a general sense of what to expect by the color of the dot. Green dots, naturally, mean there’s virtually no wait. Yellow indicates a bit of a wait, around 20–25 minutes, and red dots represent waits of 30 minutes or more.

On Monday around 2 p.m., for example, the dot for El Centro College was green, with no wait reported; the map dot for University Park United Methodist Church was yellow, thanks to a 20-minute wait time; and Audelia Road Branch Library showed as red due to a wait time of 34 minutes.

Early voting ends on Friday, Nov. 1, and election day is Tuesday, Nov. 5. Get more information about what's on the ballot here.
