Yahoo Finance Voter info for Congressional District 6: Where to vote, what to know on Election Day
Voters from across North Texas will head to the polls on Tuesday to select who they’d like to represent Texas’ 6th Congressional District.
Two Republicans are in the special runoff to fill the seat of late U.S. Rep. Ron Wright — Susan Wright, Ron Wright’s widow and state Rep. Jake Ellzey. They were the top vote-getters in a May 1 special election that featured 23 candidates, but with neither getting more than 50% of the vote, the two advanced into a runoff.
The district covers southeast Tarrant County, including most of Arlington and Mansfield, and all of Ellis and Navarro counties. Just over 20,500 people have voted early in the race by mail or in person, according to the Texas Secretary of State’s office.
Where to vote
Polls open on Tuesday at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. Voters in Tarrant, Ellis and Navarro counties can cast their ballot at any vote center on Election Day.
