Cedar Hill, Texas Public Records

Registration must be completed 30 days before any election, and applicants must provide their Texas driver's license number, state ID number, or the last four digits of their Social Security number. These elections occur on the uniform election date in May of odd-numbered years, with the next contest scheduled for May 2025. Candidate information and local ballot measures appear on the city website at cedarhilltx.com. Residents can find their assigned polling location by entering their address on the Dallas County Elections Department website or calling the office directly. While Texas has no U.S. Senate seat up that year, residents will elect a Governor (the gubernatorial election occurs in 2026), all Texas House of Representatives seats, half of the Texas Senate seats (depending on district), various Dallas County offices including County Judge, County Commissioners, Sheriff, District Attorney, County Clerk, and District Clerk, plus numerous judicial positions. State legislative redistricting completed in 2021 means local voters should verify their specific Texas House and Senate districts. Texas restricts mail-in voting to voters 65 or older, those who will be outside the county during early voting and election day, those confined in jail but still eligible, or those with disabilities. Mail ballot applications must be submitted to the Dallas County Elections Administrator. All voter registration records are public in Texas and available for purchase, though individual voting history (whether someone voted, not how they voted) has some restrictions. Campaign finance reports for local and county candidates are filed with the Texas Ethics Commission (ethics.state.tx.us) and are fully searchable online. The Elections Department publishes precinct-level results on its website within days of each election, offering detailed breakdowns of how local precincts voted.
