Press release from the Greater Arlington Chamber of Commerce:

October 12, 2020

Registered voters in Tarrant County can vote at any of 50 voting centers scattered throughout the county. Early voting starts tomorrow, Tuesday, October 13th and runs through October 30th. The centers will be open every day except for Sunday, October 18th. Hours vary but with the exception of October 25th when the hours will be 11:00 am to 4:00 pm, all of the centers are open at least 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.All voters will be required to have a government issued photo ID in order to vote. (Some hardship exceptions do exist. You don’t want to be without an ID.)A new twist this election is an interactive voting center map that will tell voters how busy a particular voting center is at that time. The goal is to let voters go where the crowds are not to make the process safer. In a typical presidential year, the county uses 600 voting machines for early voting. This election 993 are in use to speed up the process. You can find the early voting interactive map and voting center locations by clicking on this link.You can bring a cheat sheet to the voting center with your choices already marked to make the process go more quickly. Make sure your cheat sheet is paper. No electronic devices may be used. Phones and cameras are prohibited inside the voting center. You can get a sample ballot for your precinct by clicking on this link and following the directions.You can support your favorite candidates, but not within 100 feet of the voting center. No campaign t-shirts or other campaign apparel or materials are allowed.Everyone will be required to wear a mask in the voting center.
