Locating Polling Places

Find polling locations within Collin County, Texas.

Providing voters with polling place information is one of the most basic tasks that election departments perform. Online applications based on GIS technology give voters access to current, accurate polling place information 24 hours a day.

Using the voter's address, these applications correctly identify the precinct and polling place and can furnish driving directions. When information on where polling places are located is readily available, voter turnout is higher.

"When the elections are more convenient, we have a greater poll. In addition, our GIS Internet application has significantly reduced the number of calls that our office receives. The public can now use the Web to determine where their polling location is and how to get there."

Michael Dickerson, director of the Board of Elections for Mecklenburg County, North Carolina
