Hi, folks. It’s Natalia.

After the decision by Dallas County Republicans to get rid of countywide polling places for the primary election caused chaos and confusion for voters, the county party leader now says he’ll agree to use them for the May 26 runoff election. You can read the details on his decision here.

By law in our state, both political parties have to agree to use countywide voting sites, which Democrats had favored, but the GOP wouldn’t agree, forcing every voter on March 3 to find their assigned polling location.

We’re still learning about the implications of that decision. On Tuesday, during a county commissioners meeting, Dallas County elections administrator Paul Adams said volunteers who helped redirect voters provided data that showed at least 12,746 people went to the wrong polling location. The volunteers had asked the voters if they could send them a text with their correct polling location; the data comes from those voters who agreed to get a text. Adams in an email yesterday told me that his department has no way to know how many people in total went to the wrong polling location.

Williamson County Republicans, who also decided against using the countywide voting program for their primary, declined to comment on whether they’ll do the same for the runoff election because an official agreement with the county has yet to be signed.

Remember that if you voted in the Republican primary, you’re only allowed to vote in the Republican runoff election. The same applies for voters who cast ballots in the Democratic primary.
