Election Day: What You Need to Know
Election Day arrives on Saturday, June 7, 2025, for North Texas voters, presenting an essential opportunity for civic engagement. Polls will open promptly at 7 a.m. and will remain accessible until 7 p.m. Anyone in line by the closing time will still be permitted to vote, ensuring that every voice is heard.

Key Election Dates and Voting Methods
Early voting is already underway, taking place from May 27 through June 3. With the growing reliance on mail-in ballots, voters must note that the deadline for requesting these ballots was May 27. However, those who obtained their mail-in ballots must ensure they are received or postmarked by the same Election Day deadline of 7 p.m. on June 7. This comprehensive voter guide consolidates essential dates, methods, and information regarding voter registration status and provides a quick reference for where and how to vote.

The Importance of Local Elections
The outcomes of these local elections extend beyond the ballot box, directly influencing community dynamics and quality of life in Dallas and surrounding areas.
