Body
BACKGROUND:
In accordance with the State Election Code, the General Election will be held on Saturday, May 4, 2024. The following City Council seats will expire and will be up for election: Council Places 1, 3, 5, and 7. Polling locations will be open 7am to 7pm on Election Day.
The City of Carrollton contracts their Elections with Collin, Dallas, and Denton County Elections Administration Offices. Collin and Dallas Counties use vote centers which allow registered voters within a county to vote at any Vote Center location in their county during Early Voting and on Election Day, including locations outside of the City. Denton County has not yet moved to Vote Centers, so Denton County voters will need to vote at their precinct on Election Day. Polling locations will be determined as specified in the Elections contracts with each county. All Election details including polling hours, locations, and ballot information, will be listed on each county’s Elections Administration webpage which are as follows:
Dallas County - dallascountyvotes.org
Denton County - votedenton.gov
Collin County - collincountytx.gov/elections
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:
