Denton County posts primary election notices; early voting sites unchanged but election‑day locations differ by party
Summary
County elections staff presented primary election notices for March 3, 2026. Both party notices list 55 early voting sites; the Republican notice lists 78 election‑day sites and the Democratic notice lists 68, prompting the court to advise voters to check the county website for their correct polling location.
Denton County election officials told the Commissioners Court on Feb. 10 that notices for the March 3, 2026 primary elections for both parties were ready for posting.
Elections staff said both notices contain 55 early voting sites. The county highlighted that election‑day polling locations do not mirror each other between party ballots: the Republican notice lists 78 election‑day sites, while the Democratic notice lists 68. Clerk Frank Phillips (elections staff) advised voters to check the county website for their correct polling place if they plan to vote on election day.
The court approved posting the notices to the county website and recorded a unanimous vote.
Why it matters: Different election‑day site lists between party notices mean voters should verify their assigned polling location before going to the polls. Early voting schedules and locations are identical across the notices (55 sites).
What was decided: The court approved the two notices for posting and reiterated online resources for voters.
Practical details from the hearing: early voting begins Feb. 17, 2026, and continues through Feb. 27, 2026; the county website votedenton.gov (as referenced in the meeting) lists times and locations. The court also reminded residents that county offices will be closed Feb. 16 in observance of Presidents' Day.
