Overview
- Across North and Central Texas, polls ran from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday with results now being tallied after Election Day closed.
- Dallas ISD’s $6.2 billion plan, the largest school bond proposed in Texas, seeks new and modernized campuses, safety upgrades, buses, and technology with district estimates showing a roughly $2.79 monthly cost for the average homeowner.
- Fort Worth voters weighed an $845 million, six-part bond for streets, parks, libraries, housing, public safety facilities, and animal care improvements.
- Addison, University Park, and Highland Park voted on staying in Dallas Area Rapid Transit, and a vote to leave would stop local transit service right away while a 1% sales tax continues until agency debts are paid.
- Competitive mayoral races include Arlington, where debates focused on property taxes and a projected $25 million budget shortfall, and voters statewide followed Texas photo ID rules that require DPS-issued ID or an alternative with a signed impediment form.
