*Only one of these locations may be utilized as an Election Day polling location.Staff
recommends use of the Denton Civic Center for the 2025 General Election.
**UNT Data is for Gateway Center which is unavailable for the May 2025 election
In reviewing the historical use of polling locations from 2023 and 2024, the following proposed
locations are substantially the same used for general elections and runoff elections, where
applicable.Both the University of North Texas("UNT")and Texas Woman's University("TWU")
indicated an interest in being used as polling locations. While the UNT Gateway Center was
unavailable,the Greek Life Center, with adjacent parking, has been offered as an alternative. The
City has previously utilized this location with success. The TWU space reservation team is
working to confirm a location on campus.
Staff is not recommending the continued use of the Serve Denton polling location utilized in the
May 4, 2024, General Election(this location is not referenced in the above chart). The 2024 voter
turnout at this location was 32 voters. The City of Denton must incur the total cost for the use of
this facility as no other agencies are participating in the joint election willing to share in the cost
for this polling location. Additionally, there is an authorized polling location within a mile of the
Serve Denton polling location for which DISD will share in the cost.
The following are the Staff recommended polling locations. These locations have been presented
to DISD, who is presently in the process of reviewing for approval.

The actual number of polling locations used during an election will vary depending on the number
of jurisdictions contracting with Denton County Elections Department. Denton County will assign
precincts to specific locations and districts may share a polling location in some instances.
If a runoff election is necessary, Staff recommends use of all Election Day locations shown for
respective district(s) in the runoff and use of the Denton Civic Center, Denton County Elections
Administration, and an additional early voting site as the Early Voting Locations only. Locations
proposed for use for any runoff election would be deliberated at the time the runoff election is
ordered.
This information and an ordinance calling the 2025 General Election will be presented to Council
on Tuesday, Jan. 14. Additionally, a map of the proposed locations is included as an attachment.
Please provide all questions or requests for additional locations in advance for staff preparation.
