Early Voting
According to the Bell County Elections Division: Voters will receive a blank ballot at check-in to insert into the ExpressVote ballot marking device and make their selections. After reviewing their selections on the screen, voters will print the ballot. Once voters have reviewed the selections printed on the ballot, they will insert the ballot into the DS200 digital scanner for tabulation. This hybrid system allows for the convenience and accuracy of electronic voting, as well as the security of an auditable paper ballot that can be used for manual recounts.
There will be 42 polling places on Election Day. Polling places will be open 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Nov. 8. Bell County voters can vote at any of the 42 polling places on Election Day. A list can be found here: https://www.bellcountytx.com/departments/elections/election_day_locations.php
