As the Nov. 8 election approaches,
Community Impact Newspaper is helping you prepare. Here are four things Collin County voters need to know.
Oct. 11 is the last day to register to vote in the Nov. 8 election.[/caption]
1. Oct. 11 is the last day to register to vote in the Nov. 8 election.
Typically, voters must be registered to vote in their county 30 days before an election, but the 30th day this year is Sunday, Oct. 9. Because Monday, Oct. 10 is a holiday, the last day for registration is Oct. 11, 28 days before the election.
Still need to register?
Here’s how.
2. Early voting begins Oct. 24 and ends Nov. 4
Registered voters in Collin County can cast their ballot at any county vote center during early voting from Oct. 24-Nov. 4.
A complete list of early-voting locations and schedules can be found
