3 Denton city council elections will go to a runoff, which means there is time to register NEW VOTERS.

If you didn't locally register in time for the November election, you have until Monday the 9th to register to vote in the runoff election which will end on December 8.

Do you want to have a say in who gets to be mayor of this city? This is your chance.

You can print out and mail a voter registration form at movetexas.org/register, comment to request a Voter Deputy Registrar visits you, or head to the elections administration office at 701 Kimberly Dr. to register to vote.
