PRESS RELEASES - APRIL 2006

City Announces New Changes at the Polls
One Stop Voting Has Arrived!

April 28, 2006

Early voting begins Monday, May 1, and the City of Arlington is announcing a few new improvements in the election process.

The Arlington Municipal Building has become a new Early Voting location, and three new polling locations are opening in south Arlington on Election Day.

Registered voters can cast ballots at any Early Voting location in Tarrant County. Until now, registered voters residing in Arlington were required to vote at an Early Voting location within the city limits.

On Election Day, Arlington voters can vote in one location, and cast one ballot for issues pertaining to the city, school and county. Before now, voting in a county or school issues required casting ballots at separate locations.

Early voting is May 1 - 9. Election Day is Saturday, May 13. In Arlington, voters will be electing Arlington City Council members for Single Member Districts 1 and 2 and At-Large Districts 6 and 7. Arlington voters will also be casting ballots "For or Against" the reauthorization of the local sales and use tax at the rate of one-fourth of one-percent to continue providing revenue for maintenance and repair of municipal streets.
