The polling locations were presented to Denton ISD who confirmed on February 10, 2026, that they would participate in cost sharing for the polling locations suggested by staff for Early Voting and Election Day. Denton County Elections recommends using the Wesley Foundation(adjacent to the UNT campus)over the Greek Life Center, as it has more parking spaces. Denton Wesley Foundation staff confirmed availability for it to be used, and TWU staff also confirmed availability for Hubbard Hall to be used, as polling locations for Early Voting and on Election Day. Denton ISD has confirmed availability for the Denton ISD Sisk Service Center Annex to be used, but only on Election Day. If a runoff election is necessary, proposed polling locations would be deliberated at the time the runoff election is ordered and would be based on offices/races in the Runoff. OPTIONS: The following options exist: • Give direction to proceed with staff s proposed locations for the May 2, 2026, general and special election to be incorporated into the draft election contract scheduled for consideration at the March 3, 2026, Meeting. • Give direction for staff to research substitute locations for potential use. NEXT STEPS: 1. Please communicate back to staff by Thursday, February 19, 2026, if you: • agree with the proposed polling locations, or • have questions, or • would like to investigate other locations. 2. Staff plans to include the proposed polling locations together with the draft Denton County Elections contract for presentation to Council on March 3, 2026, for approval. 3.
