Prosper and Celina voters heading to the polls Tuesday, Nov. 3, should check which county they are registered in before choosing a voting location.
Both communities straddle Collin and Denton counties, which follow different Election Day rules. Collin County voters can cast a ballot at any designated vote center in the county. Denton County voters must use the polling location assigned to their precinct.
Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time. Anyone in line at 7 p.m. may stay and vote.
Where to vote
Collin County participates in Texas’ Countywide Polling Place Program, giving registered voters access to dozens of vote centers.
Local options include Prosper Town Hall, 250 W. First St.; Children’s Health Stadium at Prosper ISD, 2000 Stadium Drive; Bethany Worship Center, 12160 County Road 132 in Celina; and Collin College’s Celina Campus, 2505 Kinship Parkway.
Voters can check locations through Collin County Elections. Denton County voters should confirm their assigned precinct location at votedenton.gov.
What’s on the ballot
The statewide ballot includes the U.S. Senate race among Republican Ken Paxton, Democrat James Talarico and Libertarian Ted Brown.
Republican Gov. Greg Abbott faces Democrat Gina Hinojosa and Libertarian Pat Dixon. Other statewide contests include lieutenant governor, attorney general, comptroller, land commissioner, agriculture commissioner and railroad commissioner.
Congressional, legislative and local races vary by address. Voters should review their county’s sample ballot to see their specific contests.
Bring identification
Texas accepts seven forms of photo ID: a Texas driver’s license, Texas personal identification card, Texas handgun license, Texas election identification certificate, U.S. military identification with a photograph, U.S. citizenship certificate with a photograph or U.S. passport.
For voters ages 18 to 69, an otherwise acceptable ID may be expired by up to four years. Voters 70 and older may use an otherwise acceptable expired ID regardless of its expiration date.
Voters who do not possess and cannot reasonably obtain an approved photo ID may complete a reasonable impediment declaration and present a qualifying supporting document. The full requirements are available at VoteTexas.gov.
Phones and voting notes
Voters may bring phones, but cannot use wireless communication devices in the room where voting takes place. Recording is prohibited within 100 feet of a voting station, according to the secretary of state’s guidance.
Written notes and printed sample ballots may be brought for personal reference.
For voting questions, call the state election hotline at 1-800-252-VOTE (8683).
