Here’s the problem:

During Early Voting, you can vote at any polling place in the county: near your home, work, school, shopping -- anywhere.
But on Election Day, you can vote only at one assigned location based on your home address.
If you show up at the wrong location, you’ll be sent somewhere else — sometimes miles away — or given a provisional ballot that won’t count.
Polling locations can change from one election to the next, and even between Early Voting and Election Day — with no notice to voters.

As a result, 10–15% of Election Day voters are turned away from the first place they try to vote. County rules require poll workers to redirect them, even if they can’t reach the "right" location before polls close.

This doesn’t happen in 100 other Texas counties where 85% of Texans live, where voters can cast their ballot anywhere on Election Day — just like during Early Voting.

We can fix this.
Tell the Denton County Commissioners to adopt Vote Centers so all registered voters can vote at any polling place in the county on Election Day, just like during early voting
