The Tarrant County Subcourthouse in Arlington is a voting location.
Tarrant County Commissioners Court will consider on Tuesday whether to reduce the number of voting locations during the Nov. 3 general election.
The Election Day locations could be cut from the 316 sites in the last midterm election to 176 this year. Early voting sites might go down from 50 in 2022 to 42 in 2026, according to the agenda packet.
Commissioners are scheduled to approve the proposed list of sites during their meeting at 10 a.m. Tuesday at the Tarrant County Administration Building in Fort Worth.
During last November’s constitutional amendment election, the county decreased the number of polling locations, citing cost reductions and low turnout in odd-year elections, according to previous Shorthorn reporting.
Despite the cut, the county saw one of its largest recorded voting turnouts for an odd-year election in over a decade, with just over 223,000 total ballots cast, according to official county data.
For Texans, the Nov. 4, 2025 ballot was composed of 17 state constitutional amendments, all of which passed. Some Tarrant County voters also had the Texas Senate District 9 race on their ballot.
For the upcoming election, the number of early voting locations increased by nine sites since last year’s constitutional amendment election. The number of Election Day locations has decreased by 38 sites since the 2025 election.
The county has more than 1.28 million registered voters. The November ballot includes more than 70 midterm races at the federal, state and county level.
