What do I bring to vote in Texas?

The most important thing to bring to the polls is yourself, but here's a list of the things you should have if you want to make it to the ballot box.

How are the votes reported?

WFAA will have a team of journalists tracking election results across Texas both on air and online when the polls close, using data from local elections offices, the Secretary of State's Office and the Associated Press. 

Polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. in North Texas, with early voting data coming in shortly after polls close.

The Associated Press has compiled vote results and declared winners in elections for more than 170 years.

AP employs a network of more than 4,000 local reporters who collect results from voting precincts and county election offices when polls close.

WFAA also has a team of journalists monitoring North Texas county elections administration offices where votes are counted and submitted to the secretary of state. We also monitor the secretary of state's vote totals to help provide the latest totals from our local and state elections offices.

As results come in, WFAA utilizes the Associated Press and ABC News to call races.
