Corsicana, Texas Public Records

The city's dedication to building a strong cultural identity, through events like the Navarro County Exposition and Corsicana Film Festival, further supports the local economy and attracts visitors to the region.

Applications are also available at public libraries, the Navarro County elections office, and state agencies, and must be submitted at least 30 days before an election. At the polls, voters must present one of seven approved forms of photo identification—driver's license, Texas election identification certificate, passport, military ID, or concealed handgun license among them. Those lacking acceptable ID may sign a reasonable impediment declaration with supporting documentation. Municipal elections here follow the traditional pattern, held on the first Saturday in May during odd-numbered years. The next city elections are scheduled for May 2025, with mayor and council seats on the ballot depending on term expirations. The City Secretary's office at 200 North 12th Street (phone: 903-654-4800) administers these elections, processes candidate filings, and posts local ballot measures. Candidate filing periods typically open in January before May elections, with requirements including either filing fees or petition signatures depending on the office. Residents can find their assigned polling location through the Secretary of State's website at teamrv-mvp.sos.texas.gov or by contacting the Navarro County elections office. Early voting locations, dates, and times appear at navarrocounty.org/elections prior to each election. During the November 2024 presidential election, Navarro County reported approximately 54% voter turnout, with roughly 18,500 ballots cast from approximately 34,000 registered voters. The November 3, 2026 general election will bring significant races to local voters. Statewide contests include Governor (four-year term), Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, and other executive offices. All 150 Texas House seats will be on the ballot, along with approximately half of the 31 Texas Senate seats depending on district. County races include County Judge, Sheriff, County Clerk, District Clerk, County Attorney, Tax Assessor-Collector, County Treasurer, and Constables. No U.S. Senate seat is scheduled for Texas in 2026, as both incumbent senators were elected in 2024 and 2020 respectively. U.S. House District 6 represents the city at the federal level.
