More than 120,600 ballots had been cast in Denton County by the end of Thursday, Oct. 22, the fourth day of early voting for the Nov. 3 general election, the Denton Record-Chronicle reported.

The week opened strongly. The county elections office counted 34,739 in-person voters on Monday, Oct. 19, NBC 5 reported, an increase of more than 17,000 over the opening day of the 2022 midterm. For comparison, the station cited Texas Secretary of State figures showing 50,661 county voters on opening day of the 2024 presidential election's early voting period.

During early voting the county elections office posts updated counts by polling place and by district on its website, votedenton.gov.

Denton County is running 54 early voting sites, and a registered county voter may use any of them. The rest of the schedule:
