A general election is conducted each May to elect representatives to the Addison City Council as necessary. The attached Ordinances (English, Spanish, and Vietnamese) establish the procedures for the May 6, 2023 General Election in accordance with state law and the Town's Home Rule Charter. The election is called to elect a Mayor and three (3) City Council Members.
The first day to file for a place on the May ballot is Wednesday, January 18, 2023. The last day to file is Friday, February 17, 2023.
The Town will enter into a Joint Election Contract with the Dallas County Election Department for the May 6, 2023 General Election. All procedures remain the same as in previous years except for omitting the Council approved polling locations in the attached ordinance due to concerns expressed by Council over traffic issues at the May 2022 General Election. If Council desires, Staff will bring back a discussion regarding polling stations at a future work session.
Should the election be uncontested and unnecessary, the Town will have the opportunity to cancel the election in accordance with the Election Code.
