If you are unsure where to vote, the Dallas County Elections page has a list of all locations according to the precinct assigned to your neighborhood. Your voter registration card contains your precinct number. It is important to note, unlike early voting when you can go to any poll, today you can only vote at your assigned location.
The polls are now open and you can vote anytime up to 7 p.m.
