Thanks to the approximately 60 people who joined Election Judge Rosemary Calderon standing up for Election Day voting rights at the Denton County Commission meeting on Tuesday, June 16. 

Your next opportunity to stand up for countywide Election Day voting will be June 30 at the Denton County Administrative Courthouse off Loop 288 in Denton near Aldi's. It begins at 9 am.

You'll join lots of voters from all over the county silently standing up for voting rights as another Election Judge demands that the commission get rid of the outdated county rule that forces 10-15% of registered voters to scramble on every Election Day trying to figure out where to vote.

You won't have to speak. Just stand quietly by your seat for 3 minutes.  Once the Election Worker finishes speaking, we'll all leave. This should take about an hour of your time.

(During Early Voting, you can vote at any polling place in the county:  near your home, work, school, shopping -- anywhere -- but on Election Day, you can vote only at the location assigned to your home address.

(As a result, 1,000-7,000 legally registered voters are turned away at least once, some several times on every Election Day. This doesn’t happen in 100 other Texas counties where 87% of Texas voters live.  They can vote anywhere on Election Day — just like during Early Voting.)

We'll be standing up for the right of every Denton County voter to vote anywhere in our county on every Election Day on June 30, July 14, Aug 11 and Sept 1.
