Polls open at 7 a.m. Tuesday for the Nov. 3 general election, and for Van Alstyne voters the first question is which county they are registered in. The city lies mostly in Grayson County but reaches into Collin County, and each county runs its own vote centers.
Grayson County voters
Grayson County lets registered voters cast a ballot at any of its 24 Election Day vote centers, with voting hours of 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The only one in Van Alstyne is Grayson College's South Campus, Library Room 119, at 1455 W. Van Alstyne Parkway, the same room that served as the city's early voting site.
The closest other Grayson sites listed by the county include the police department in Howe at 700 W. Haning St. and the Gunter First Baptist Church foyer, 99 Gentle Creek Lane. The full list is on the county elections website, and the office can be reached at 903-893-8683.
Collin County voters
Residents registered in Collin County cannot use the Grayson sites and must vote at a Collin County vote center. Collin's Election Day list has no site in Van Alstyne. The nearest ones on that list include:
- Weston First Baptist Church, Fellowship Hall, 300 Main St., Weston
- Anna Community Library, Multipurpose Room, 111 W. Fifth St., Anna
- Anna ISD Special Programs Building, Training Room 400, 201 E. Seventh St., Anna
- Anna ISD Administration Building, Coyote Room, 151 Rosamond Parkway, Anna
- Melissa City Hall, Multi-Purpose Room, 3411 Barker Ave., Melissa
Collin County ballots carry items Grayson ballots do not, including four county bond propositions and a $600 million Collin College bond, according to the county's sample ballot.
