Plano residents have one final opportunity to participate in the 2026 midterm election on Monday, Nov. 3. Polling stations across the city will operate from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., providing a seven-hour window for voters to cast their ballots in a contest that spans federal, state, and local offices.
The ballot includes races for the U.S. Senate and the Texas governorship, alongside local decisions. Voters in Collin County are not restricted to a specific building; they may select from any of 22 designated locations within Plano. These sites range from elementary schools like Barksdale and Christie to public libraries including the Davis and Parr branches.
Other voting spots include middle schools such as Bowman, Otto, and Rice, as well as high schools Clark and Shepton. Community centers also serve as polling places, including the Carpenter Park and Tom Muehlenbeck Recreation Centers. Faith-based institutions are represented by the Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church at 920 14th St.
Beyond elected offices, local voters will decide on financial measures. Collin College and Collin County have placed bond propositions on the ballot. Additionally, Plano residents will vote on venue taxes related to a proposed arena for the Dallas Stars hockey team.
Voters must present specific identification to cast a ballot, according to the Texas Secretary of State. Acceptable forms include a Texas driver's license, a Texas election identification certificate, or a Texas personal identification card. Other valid options are a Texas handgun license, a U.S. military identification card with a photo, a U.S. citizenship certificate with a photo, or a U.S. passport.
While Plano voters have flexibility in location, residents in Denton County must cast their ballots at their assigned precinct. Those precincts are listed on the official county website. The election covers a wide array of federal and state races in addition to the local Plano contests.
Community Impact has compiled candidate information and Q&As for the various races on its voter guide. Results from the Nov. 3 election will be updated on the website as they become available on election night.
