Denton County officials to track wrong-poll visits Denton County election workers will track how many voters report to the incorrect polling loca- tions during the Nov. 4 election, Denton County Elections Administrator Frank Phillips said. The elections department will also track how many redirected voters end up getting to vote. What’s happening Phillips said the decision to track voter redirec- tions came after Denton County Democratic Party election workers tracked redirections in the 2024 May primary runoff and November general elec- tions, following reports of voter confusion. The November 2024 election had 144 polling locations for the county’s 227 precincts. “I prefer to have our own data when reporting on the percentage of voters who are redirected,” Phillips said. “To get the full picture, this tracking needs to cover all types of elections.”
