Early Voting Underway at TCU

After a hiatus, early voting is returning to the TCU campus to serve its Horned Frogs and the local community. Early voting runs through Nov. 1 on the first floor of the BLUU.  

“TCU strives to be a pillar in Fort Worth, but our mission also is to educate students to think and act as ethical leaders and responsible citizens in the global community,” said Courtney Hendrix, an academic advisor in TCU Neeley and the chair of Staff Assembly.  

Staff Assembly members inquired about bringing voting back to campus for the November elections, she said, and interest spread through campus as various events were planned to engage voters.  

TCU was scrapped as an early voting location during COVID-19 protocols in 2020 and had not been reinstated due to limited resources from Tarrant County Elections. The county handles the management of the polling site, Hendrix said, but she credits the work of University Unions staff, the contract office, the risk management office and others in coordinating the implementation.  

“Bringing voting to campus allows students, faculty and staff to participate in a key aspect of our democracy in the United States and make sure their voices are heard,” she said.
