Voters head to polls Tuesday

After several delays and court decisions, Election Day for the state Republican and Democratic primaries is set for Tuesday.

Voters will have their say in their party's nominees for several high profile offices, including U.S. House District 3, as well as several state House districts in Collin and Denton counties.

Two of the races drawing the most interest locally are state House District 67, which has five candidates seeking the Republican nomination, and state House District 106, which features a former Lewisville ISD trustee squaring off against a sitting Frisco City Councilman. These races, as well as those for several judicial and county administrative positions, will be up for grabs.

With the presidential nominations sealed up for both parties, turnout has been extremely low in both primaries during the early voting period. In Collin County, only about one-quarter of the number of voters who voted in the 2008 primaries have cast ballots this year. The number of voters has also likely been affected by the multiple delays due to the court battle over the constitutionality of the state's redistricting efforts. Prior to the May 29 date, the primaries were scheduled for March 6 and April 3.

Unlike in early voting, voters are required to vote at their assigned precinct on Election Day. For a list of polling locations, visit www.co.collin.tx.us/elections or elections.dentoncounty.com.
