Tarrant County reduces November Election Day voting locations by 33%

Citing low turnout rates and cost reductions, Tarrant County commissioners on Tuesday cut the number of voting locations for the Nov. 4 constitutional amendment election.

Early voting locations were cut by a fourth, from 44 in 2023 to 33. Election Day sites fell by more than a third, from 330 to 214.

Commissioners were considering 24 early sites but added nine after Elections Administrator Clint Ludwig told the court the initial numbers were the “bare minimum” he would recommend.

Odd-year elections often have a lower turnout rate, with the 2023 election drawing 12.48% of Tarrant County registered voters. Five sites had fewer than 300 people come to vote throughout the early voting period.
