Allen residents voting in the November election will have a new option for where they can cast their ballots.
The city of Allen will have different voting locations this November, as the Allen Public Library hosting polling instead of the Allen Municipal Court, according to a city news release.
The gist
Voting will take place in library meeting rooms A and B, which are located on the east side of Allen Public Library near the Civic Auditorium, per the release. Parking is available on the north and east sides of the building.
The city's municipal court has limited parking due to ongoing construction of the new Allen Police Headquarters, making that location unavailable, the release states.
The Allen Municipal Court, where city hall is located, was the third-most-used polling location in Collin County during the May 2026 primary election, according to data from Collin County Elections.
"The polling locations in Allen are some of our most heavy turnout polling locations, so we wanted to fill that vacancy, and decided to do so with what the city of Allen offered," Collin County Elections Administrator Kaleb Breaux said in an email.
The specifics
Early voting for the Nov. 3 election begins Oct. 19 and ends Oct. 30, per the city’s website. Allen residents can cast a ballot at any Collin County polling location during early voting or on Election Day.
The two voting locations in Allen are:
Allen ISD Service Center, 1451 N. Watters Road
Allen Public Library, 300 N. Allen Drive
From Oct. 19-23, Allen voting locations will be open 8 a.m.-5 p.m. On Oct. 24, polling locations are open from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. On Oct. 25, voting locations will be open 11 a.m.-5 p.m. From Oct. 26-30, polling locations are open 7 a.m.-7 p.m.
