Voting Asistance
Are you looking for information on how to vote in Denton County? Look no further!
We have your definitive guide to registering to vote in Denton County, where you will vote in Denton County, and what you will need to vote in Denton County.
First question:
Am I registered to vote?
This is an excellent question for those new to Texas or Denton County. Our state, and our county in particular, have been subject to an enormous amount of growth in the past few years. Much of that growth can be directly attributed to the conservative leadership and stewardship of the Republican Party who has won every statewide office for more than 20 years!
I’M NEW TO TEXAS; WHERE DO I REGISTER TO VOTE?
Congratulations!
We are so happy you have come to our great state! After you have moved into your new home, you’ll need to head to your local Department of Motor Vehicles to obtain your Texas Driver’s License. You’ll see why that is important shortly. While there you can pick up a Voter Registration form and fill it out with the rest of the paper work.
You can also visit the Denton County Elections Administrator office or our Headquarters and become registered.
