Tarrant County Elections Officials Expecting Surge at the Polls

(WBAP/KLIF) — Texas counties are gearing up for a busy election process during the mid-terms, as the political climate has been heating up for months.

Tarrant County Election Administrator Heider Garcia says preparations have been non-stop with candidate certification, assuring names are correctly printed on ballots, and the delivery of mail-in ballots to residents living abroad. Garcia says of the 22,000 mail-in ballots sent out by the county, 8,000 have been returned completed. Election administrators across North Texas are expecting a higher-than-normal turn-out, which Garcia expects it to possibly rival 2020.

Early voting begins on Monday, October 24th, and runs through November 4th. Election Day is on Tuesday, November 8th.
