After hearing concerns from the public and community organizations, the City of Arlington worked with Tarrant County officials to provide a solution that would accommodate voters in south Arlington. Both St. Joseph Catholic Church Parish Hall and the Arlington South Service Center will serve as early voting sites.

“The City of Arlington wants to thank Tarrant County for thinking outside the box to develop an innovative plan that will keep the South Service Center location open for during early voting,” said Jennifer Wichmann, director of Management Resources for the City of Arlington. “We want all voters to be engaged in the voting process and believe this solution will help them do that.”

“Arlington residents voiced their opinion on keeping the South Service Center polling place open and we listened,” said Mary Supino, Arlington City Secretary. “Working with our partner, Tarrant County, we are very pleased to be able to find a solution to address their valid concerns.”
