Two counties, two systems: where Celina voters can cast a ballot on Election Day

Collin County voters can use any of about 90 vote centers Tuesday, two of them in Celina. Denton County voters must go to their assigned precinct, and the fire station on FM 1385 serves two of them.

Early voting ends at 7 p.m. today, and on Tuesday, Nov. 3, Celina voters will head to the polls under two different sets of rules depending on which side of the county line they live on.

Election Day voting hours are 7 a.m. until 7 p.m., according to the Texas secretary of state's voter site.

Collin County: any vote center

Collin County uses vote centers, so any registered voter in the county can cast a ballot at any of its designated sites, the county elections office says. Its Election Day list has about 90 locations.

Two are in Celina:

  • Collin College Celina Campus, Classroom CEC110, 2505 Kinship Parkway. This site was also used for early voting.
  • Bethany Worship Center, sanctuary, 12160 County Road 132. This one opens only on Election Day.

The nearest other sites on the county's list include Prosper Town Hall's community room at 250 W. First St. and the community room at Children's Health Stadium at Prosper ISD, 2000 Stadium Drive.

Denton County: your own precinct

Denton County works differently. Its elections office says registered voters on Election Day vote at their precinct polling location, and it posts a separate list of sites by precinct.

That list places precincts 1009 and 1015 at Celina Fire Station No. 3, 4400 FM 1385, in the community room. The county lists that address under Aubrey. Voters who are unsure of their precinct can check the county's voter lookup before heading out.

Denton County also offers curbside voting for anyone who has trouble walking or standing for long periods. Voters without someone to help them can call the election day clerk ahead of time at 940-349-3200.

Bring an ID, mind the mail deadline

Voters in both counties need one of the forms of identification the state accepts. Under the state's rules, a voter who cannot reasonably obtain a photo ID may fill out a reasonable impediment declaration and show a supporting document.

Collin County says mail ballots it receives by 7 p.m. on Election Day will be counted, and those that arrive by 5 p.m. the next business day may be counted if they are postmarked by 7 p.m. on Election Day.
