1 Overview of Dallas County Texas Election Night Reporting
The Dallas County Elections Office uses an online tool called Election Night Reporting (ENR) to display
results from elections on a website. The website provides visitors with a graphical view of in-depth
county results. You are presented with a breakdown of votes received for a candidate by contest and
totals by vote type. Maps illustrate the precincts who are reporting, voter turnout, and results by precinct.
A reporting area provides downloadable reports and custom filtering of results.
When and How Often Will the Results Be Updated?
Once the polling locations have closed, the results are reported to the county. The county uploads
results and then begins reporting the results to the public via the ENR tool. Updates occur throughout
the night until all polling locations have reported.
How Do I Navigate Election Night Reporting?
The following pages provide an overview of how to navigate the ENR tool, including the:
Home Page;
Synopsis Area;
Summary Tab;
Cumulative Voting Contests;
Precincts Reporting Tab;
Voter Turnout Tab;
Filters Tab; and
Reports Button.
