StateTarrant CountyCounty commissioners voted along party lines to cut polling locations for the November election, approving 224 Election Day sites and 47 early voting sites, down from 316 and 50 in the 2022 midterms. That is 92 fewer Election Day locations in the third most populous county in Texas. The vote followed an eight hour meeting with testimony from more than 100 speakers, most opposed, and a rally by 30 civic groups outside the courthouse. A year earlier the county cut nearly half its early voting locations ahead of the 2025 election. Open Source: Fort Worth Report: commissioners approve site cuts and 1 moreLevel 2
StateNorth Carolina State Board of ElectionsThe Republican majority on the state board voted along party lines to approve early voting plans eliminating Sunday voting in 10 counties that offered it in the last midterm. Across 13 counties where local boards deadlocked, the board dropped 16 Sunday early voting days, replacing some with longer Saturday hours. Lenoir County also lost Sunday voting. Board Democrats said Sunday hours serve shift workers, long commuters, and caregivers, and state data shows Sunday voting is disproportionately used by Black voters.

StateGuilford CountyThe state board approved an early voting plan for Guilford County with no sites at UNC Greensboro or North Carolina A and T State University, despite repeated requests from students at both schools to keep campus sites used in 2024. The county board declined to include them in July, and because that vote was not unanimous the plan went to the state board. Guilford had 28 early voting sites in 2024 and 15 in 2022. The approved plan has 17. Open Source: WRAL: state board approves Guilford plan and 1 moreLevel 2
StateNorth Carolina State Board of ElectionsThe state board voted 3 to 2 along party lines to eliminate early voting sites on four college campuses for the 2026 primaries: Western Carolina University, UNC Greensboro, Elon University, and North Carolina A and T State University. Board members cited proximity, logistics, and parking. The plans reached the state board from a dozen counties whose local boards could not agree. Students rallied against the decisions. For the November general election the state board later restored the Western Carolina site, while Guilford County campus sites stayed off the plan.
