Early voting starts April 22 in Texas, with Tarrant County officials reminding voters to check registration status and polling locations
Tarrant County, Texas – As Election Day quickly approaches in Texas, voters across Tarrant County and surrounding areas are being reminded to prepare ahead of time to ensure their voices are heard at the ballot box. The countdown is on, and several important deadlines are just around the corner.
The first key date to mark is Thursday, April 3—the final day to register to vote. Whether you’re a first-time voter or just need to update your address or name, this is the moment to take action. You can start by completing a voter registration application and submitting it to your local county election office by mail or in person. Keep in mind that Texas requires all registrations to be filed at least 30 days before Election Day.
This year’s Election Day falls on Saturday, May 3, but voters can get a head start through early voting. Early voting begins on April 22 and runs through April 29, offering more flexibility for those with busy schedules or who prefer to vote before the rush.
Another date worth noting is April 22, which is not only the first day of early voting but also the deadline to apply for a mail-in ballot. If you’re eligible to vote by mail—such as seniors, people with disabilities, or those out of the county during the election—you’ll need to submit your application by this date. More information on vote-by-mail eligibility and instructions can be found at VoteTexas.gov.
To make the voting process smoother, Tarrant County residents are encouraged to check their voter registration status, polling locations, and sample ballots ahead of time. Maps and personalized election information are also available through your county’s election website:
City of Fort Worth voters can also explore local races and candidate information through the city’s official elections page.
