Collin County voters go back to the polls in March to choose Republican and Democratic candidates for November’s general election. 

Monday, Dec. 8, was the deadline for candidates to file for party primaries to be held Tuesday, March 3.

Secretary of State Jane Nelson said Thursday, Jan. 1, 2026, is the first day to apply for a ballot by mail and Monday, Feb. 2, is the last day to register to vote. 

Tuesday, Feb. 17, will be the first day of early voting, Friday, Feb. 20, is the last day to apply for a ballot by mail and Friday, Feb. 27, is the last day of early voting. If needed, runoffs will be held Tuesday, May 26.

Collin County Elections Administrator Kaleb Breaux says his office was working on the number of polling locations.

“Texas Election Code uses a formula for vote center counties to figure out the number of polling locations during an election for state and federal officials,” he said. “Senate Bill 985 allows us to combine some precincts, which are part of the formula used to determine the number of polling locations. We believe that the number will be between 91 and 100 election day locations.”
