Dallas County votes cast, Nov 2026
419,352 ballots in Dallas County through the first eight days of early voting (Oct 26), counting early votes and mail ballots returned. That is 1.7x the 2022 midterm at the same point and 97% of 2024. Voters from the March Democratic primary cast 43.9% of early votes, against 20.2% in 2024.
Countywide, 28.1% of 1,493,955 registered voters (17.1% in 2022, 29.3% in 2024 at this point)
99% of 2024 at this point
Votes cast by day
Early votes in person and mail ballots returned, by date. 2022 and 2024 are lined up by days before Election Day, so each point compares the same stage of early voting (all three years started early voting on a Monday). Dallas posts no 2022 mail roster, so 2022 mail is countywide only, from the Texas Secretary of State. The newest day's mail count can be partial, since the county posts its list early the next morning. Hover or tap for each year's numbers.
In plain terms
- —
Ballots cast at the same point: early vote + mail
Early votes in person plus mail ballots returned, through the first eight days of early voting in each year (the same number of days before Election Day).
Ballots by ZIP code
Hover or tap a ZIP for its numbers; tap again to filter the dashboard to it.
ZIP shapes are Census ZIP Code Tabulation Areas, trimmed to the county line, with major freeways and tollways for reference, so ZIPs that cross into Collin, Denton, Tarrant or other counties show only their Dallas part. ZIP here is the residence ZIP on the roster, and ZCTA shapes only approximate postal ZIP boundaries, so a small number of voters sit just outside the shape that carries their ZIP; the ZIP figures themselves are exact roster counts. ZIPs with few ballots can show extreme shading.
Party mix, same point in each election
Ballots split by which party's primary the voter took that March. "No primary" means they skipped it, not that they're independent. Head counts follow each primary's size, and the 2026 Democratic primary in Dallas County was far larger than the Republican one. Dallas posts no 2022 primary rosters, so 2022 is left out.
Who is voting
Each 2026 ballot matched by state voter ID to Dallas County's 2022 and 2024 general-election rosters. Bars compare early voters and mail voters.

Turnout against registration
Countywide early and mail ballots at the same point in each election, as a share of that year’s registered voters (Texas Secretary of State county tables). Registration grew 5% from 2022 to 2026, so raw ballot counts overstate the change in turnout by about that much. These three cards are countywide; the ZIP filter does not change them.
Who has shown up, by primary
Countywide, of the voters who took each party’s March primary, the share who had cast an early or mail ballot by this point. This is the cleaner enthusiasm measure: it does not depend on how big each primary was. In 2026 the Democratic primary was 2.7x the size of the Republican one, so Democratic head counts lead even where the two turn out at similar rates.
What past mixes produced
Countywide early and mail ballots at the same point in each election, by that year’s March primary, next to the county’s final result in the top race on the ballot (official canvass). Primary voters are a minority of every electorate and most “no primary” voters still lean one way, so the mix is a reference point against past results, not a forecast of this one. There is no 2022 mix because the county’s 2022 primary rosters are not posted.
| Election | Ballots at this point | Dem primary | Rep primary | No primary | Final result, two-party |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 · Governor | — | — | — | — | O’Rourke 63.6, Abbott 36.4 |
| 2024 · President | 430,593 | 21.0% | 16.4% | 62.6% | Harris 61.3, Trump 38.7 |
| 2026 · so far | 419,352 | 43.8% | 15.7% | 40.6% | Not yet counted |
How this was built
Sources: Dallas County's in-person early-voter list through Oct 26, 2026 (the first eight days of early voting) and its mail-ballots-returned list through Oct 26, for the Nov 3 general. Every record carries a state voter ID. A voter on both lists counts once, as an early voter. Party comes from the county's March 3, 2026 primary rosters (early, mail and Election Day).
ZIP is the residence ZIP on the early-voting list. Mail lists show the mailing address, so mail voters are placed by the residence ZIP on their other Dallas rosters, or else by their voting precinct. 198 ballots have no ZIP and 21 are in ZIPs too small to show; they count in the countywide figures but in no ZIP.
Same-point comparisons line up each year by days before Election Day: early votes through the first eight days of early voting (Oct 26, 2026; Oct 28, 2024; Oct 31, 2022), plus mail ballots returned by that date. 2024 comes from the county's early-voting, mail and Election Day rosters. For 2022 the county posts early-voting and Election Day rosters but no mail roster, so ZIP comparisons with 2022 cover early in-person votes only; the countywide 2022 mail count comes from the Texas Secretary of State's early-voting archive. The county's 2024 mail roster counts about 4% more ballots returned by the same point in 2024 than the state's archive, likely from how return dates are recorded. "No 2022 vote" means no record on the 2022 early or Election Day rosters, so a 2022 mail voter is counted there too.
Party is primary participation, not registration: the March 2024 and March 2026 primary rosters (early, mail and Election Day). Texas has no party registration, and about four in ten 2026 voters skipped the March primary. Dallas posts no 2022 primary rosters and no birth years, so there is no 2022 party mix and no age breakdown. Party colors follow each party's logo: Democratic blue and Republican red.
