County commissioners voted Wednesday to reduce the number of vote centers due to a shortage of poll workers. The voting centers the county is choosing to close are ones with low turnout or locations where another site is within a half-mile.
County commissioners voted to reduce the number of vote centers in Dallas County due to a shortage of poll workers.Dallas County voters will have fewer locations to cast their ballots on election days in May and June.
But if someone objected to a site closing, like at Canyon Creek Elementary School, it is remaining open. "When we’re spending $300,000 a ballot to run these elections, we are not being good stewards of the county's money," said elections worker Wes Bowman."I appreciate that frugality all of a sudden. But at the end of the day, it is about every vote counting as well," he said. "You didn't have to do literacy tests, poll taxes. Every vote counts."
