Early Voting Opens in June 5 Runoff Elections

FORT WORTH (WBAP/KLIF) – Early voting in local run-off elections is now open in North Texas.

Eligible voters have until June 1 to cast a ballot early in the June 5 runoff’s, with the exception of Memorial Day, when polls are closed.

As is the same for voters in Collin and Dallas Counties, Tarrant County election administrator Heider Garcia pointed out on Monday that ballots can be cast at any county-wide vote center.

“The idea is that you find a location that fits your life style or your routine the best,” said Garcia. “You don’t have to vote by your home any more.”

In Tarrant County, mayoral races are on the ballot in Arlington and Fort Worth. In Dallas, six city council seats are up for a runoff vote.

Garcia is hopeful Tarrant County will post record turnout in the runoff election after the county reported a record May election turnout of 15% turnout on May 1.
