Precincts
Your voting precinct is where local politics starts. Here is what a precinct is, how to find yours in Grayson County, and how to become a precinct chair.
What a voting precinct is
A voting precinct is the small area you are assigned to for voting. It is the basic building block of every election — the level at which votes are cast, counted and reported.
Grayson County is divided into numbered voting precincts, grouped under the county's four commissioner precincts. The county's Elections Administration keeps the official maps and decides which precinct each address belongs to.
Precinct boundaries change from time to time. The county maps and the Secretary of State's records below are always the authority — not this page.
What a precinct chair is
Each precinct can elect one precinct chair. The precinct chair is the Republican Party's representative in that precinct and serves on the county party's governing body, the County Executive Committee.
Day to day, precinct chairs help register voters, turn out the vote, and connect their neighbors with the party and its candidates. It is the most local elected role in party politics — and often the front door to everything else.
Find your precinct
We do not run a lookup of our own. Use these official tools — they are the real record.
Look up your voter record
The Texas Secretary of State's “Am I Registered?” tool shows your registration status and your precinct. Search by name and date of birth, or by your driver's license or voter ID number.
See the county precinct maps
The Grayson County Elections Administration publishes the official voting-precinct maps (PDF), along with commissioner and JP/constable maps.

Become a precinct chair
If a precinct near you is vacant, you may be able to serve. It is a real, elected party role with a real job to do — and you do not have to be an expert to start.
What it takes
Under Texas law, to be a precinct chair you must:
- Live in the precinct you would represent;
- Be a registered, qualified voter of the county;
- Not hold or run for an elective federal, state or county office; and
- Affiliate with the Republican Party.
Precinct chairs are elected in the party primary in even-numbered years and serve two-year terms. Between elections, the County Executive Committee can appoint someone to fill a vacant precinct. Details, deadlines and the application come from the party and the Secretary of State — the links to the right.
