The Dallas County Elections Department held a special event to show voters equipment, provide sample ballots and show people how to use its Early Voting Location Finder.
"The reason why we are doing this today is to, of course, celebrate National Vote Early Day and to show people how easy it is to vote in Dallas County," said Esmeralda Garcia from the department.
Some voters who showed up were surprised by the process.
"It was definitely quick. They were very thorough once you get your ID out," said Camesia Mokoko-Reed.
This year the ballots are printed in English, Spanish and Vietnamese.
"The process of selecting the people that you're voting for, it is very clear, you know. It doesn't take, maybe five minutes at the most," said Garcia.
An interactive map can show you the nearest vote centers and wait times at each before you leave your location.
Voters will be asked to verify their selections before officially submitting their ballot.
"This page will give you a brief review of everything you just voted on, so just make sure this is everything that you want to vote on, and you have the option to change it if you like," said Garcia.
