Polls in Plano open at 7 a.m. tomorrow for final midterms

Election Day arrives tomorrow, November 3, marking the final opportunity for residents to vote in the 2026 midterms. Polling locations across Plano will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. for those casting their ballots in person. This election includes contests for the U.S. Senate, Texas governor, and several local measures.

Residents of Collin County have the flexibility to vote at any polling site within the county. Plano offers twenty-two specific locations for this purpose. These sites include Barksdale Elementary School at 2424 Midway Road, Bowman Middle School at 2501 Jupiter Road, and Carpenter Park Recreation Center at 6701 Coit Road. Other options range from Clark High School and the Davis Library to various elementary schools and recreation centers throughout the city.

The ballot for these elections contains a mix of high-profile and local issues. Beyond the federal and state races, voters will decide on bond propositions for Collin College and Collin County. A specific local election involves venue taxes for a proposed Dallas Stars arena. These local decisions sit alongside the larger state and national contests on the same ticket.

For voters in Plano, identification requirements are strict. The Texas Secretary of State’s office lists acceptable forms of ID. These include a Texas driver's license, a Texas election identification certificate, or a Texas personal identification card. Voters can also use a Texas handgun license, a U.S. military ID with a photo, a U.S. citizenship certificate with a photo, or a U.S. passport.

Residents of neighboring Denton County face different logistical requirements. Unlike their Collin County counterparts, Denton County voters must cast their ballots at their specific assigned precincts. The source material directs these voters to check their assigned locations online prior to going to the polls.

Local media outlets will provide updates as results come in on election night. The community guide on the source website offers candidate question and answer sessions for the races on the ballot. This resource serves as a central hub for voters seeking information before they head to their assigned polling places tomorrow.
