Many of the elections were previously scheduled for late May but were postponed by Gov. Greg Abbott because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Texas secretary of state issued recommended health care protocols for voters, election officers and poll workers in late May to promote safety during the voting process.
The last day to register to vote for November elections is Oct. 5. Those interested in applying for an absentee ballot must have their application received by Oct. 23.
Who is on the ballot
Voters will cast ballots for U.S. president as well as representatives in Congress, the Texas Legislature and various courts. In Collin County, a total of 13 races are taking place at the county level. There are several elections taking place at the local level as well. Each voter’s ballot will vary based on their address to ensure voters are casting ballots only in races for candidates who represent them. Full sample ballots can be found on the Collin County elections website.
