County Election Precinct
Election
The county commissioner’s court divides all territory of the county into county election precincts; each precinct must not contain territory from more than one county commissioner’s precinct, justice precinct, congressional district, state representative district, state senatorial district, or state board of education district. The precincts must be compact and contiguous. A voter is registered in the county election precinct that contains the voter’s residence address. Each election precinct established for an election shall be served by a single polling place located within the boundary of the precinct. In elections other that the general election for state and county officers, and with certain limitations, county election precincts may be combined or consolidated so that multiple precincts vote at a single polling location.
