Take the first step to let county elected officials
know you want Vote Centers Now!
1. Give your financial support, volunteer and vote for candidates who support Vote Centers. In November 2026, three commission seats are on the ballot.
These candidates support countywide Election Day voting: Nick Pappas, running countywide for County Judge; Candace Valenzuela, running for Precinct 2 Commissioner, and Stephanie Draper, running for Precinct 4 Commmissioner.
2. Stand up for Voting Rights at a Commission Meeting. Speak for up to 3 minutes in support of countywide Election Day voting at a Denton County Commission meeting, most Tuesdays at 9 am at the new Administrative Courthouse.
Here's everything you need to know.
3. Sign the petition. Sign our petition now. VCN presented 1,800 signatures supporting Vote Centers to the County Commissioners in September 2026 to show support for countywide Election Day voting.
We'll continue to gather signatures and hand over another batch in the future.
After you sign...
3. Share the petition sign up page. Urge your friends on social media and email to sign the petition for our voting rights! After you sign up, you'll receive and email with a sharing link or you use this one: VotingCentersNow.org/standup
And then...
4. Email the decision makers. If you can't make a meeting to stand up in person, do it with an email. Send emails (or call) our county judge, the county commissioner who represents your district and the Denton County Republican Party chair. Here's a link to an email that will go to all of them, along with sample text you can use.
If you have a personal connection to one of them, here's their individual contact information.
5. Contact your GOP Precinct Chair. Tell them you want them to support Vote Centers. This person is one of your neighbors (precinct chairs must live in the precinct they are responsible for). Here's how to find yours
a) Find your four-digit precinct number at
www.votedenton.gov/voter-information/voter-lookup/#VoterEligibilitySearch
b) Then find your precinct chair at
dentongop.org/our-party/precinct-chairs/ The GOP does not list home addresses, emails or phone numbers for their precinct chairs, so if the GOP precinct chair for your home precinct is not someone you know...
c) Call the Denton County Republican Party office at (940) 383-4446 Monday-Friday during regular office hours. Tell them your precinct number and that you would like to talk to your precinct chair about countywide Election Day voting. They promise to have the chair call or email you. (We spoke to the county GOP chair about this and she says they will put people in touch with their GOP precinct chair if they call.)
Let us know if the GOP follows up with you and how it goes at votingcentersnow@gmail.com.
