Farmersville, Texas Public Records

Residents can register to vote online through the Texas Secretary of State's system at www.votetexas.gov, by mail using a printable application, or in person at the Collin County elections office or any Texas driver license office. Texas requires registration at least 30 days before any election. When voting in person, registered voters must provide acceptable photo identification as required by state law. Municipal elections for City Council and Mayor typically occur on the uniform election date in May of odd-numbered years, with the next regular municipal election scheduled for May 2025. Candidate information, sample ballots, and election results are available through the Collin County elections website and the City of Farmersville website. Voters can look up their specific polling place, early voting locations, and registration status through the Texas Secretary of State's voter portal at www.texas.gov/living-in-texas/voting or by contacting the elections office directly. Under the Texas Election Code and Public Information Act, election records are public information, including voter registration rolls with certain personal information redacted, precinct-by-precinct results, campaign finance reports filed by candidates and political committees, and historical election data. The Secretary of State maintains searchable databases of campaign finance filings and statewide results at www.sos.texas.gov. Texas requires an excuse for mail-in voting; eligible voters include those 65 or older, those absent from the county during early voting and on Election Day, those confined in jail but otherwise eligible, and those with a disability or illness preventing in-person voting. Mail-in ballot applications must be submitted to the Collin County Elections Administrator, and ballots must be returned by 7:00 PM on Election Day either by mail postmarked by Election Day or delivered in person to the elections office.
