Tarrant County approved for
countywide polling places
On Friday, Sept. 6, Tarrant received approval from the
Texas Secretary of State to have countywide voting for the Nov. 5
election.
Last month, Tarrant County Commissioners approved the
purchase of 3,000 Hart Verity voting machines and 400 ballot scanners
at a cost of $11 million.
“It is our understanding that the
county presently has sufficient equipment to conduct the November 5,
2019 constitutional amendment election,” said Keith Ingram, Director
of Elections for the Texas Secretary of State in a letter to Tarrant
County Judge Glen Whitley.
Tarrant County will still use all 340
polling places so voters can still vote at their regular polling place
on Election Day but voters now have the option to vote at any polling
place in the county.
Early voting begins on Oct. 21.
