FAQs
2020 Election
-
Only specific reasons entitle a registered voter to vote early by mail (no longer called absentee voting). You may request a ballot by mail if you:
- will be away from your county on Election Day and during the hours that early voting is conducted;
- are sick or disabled;
- are 65 years of age or older on Election Day; or
- are confined in jail.
-
First, request an Application for Ballot by Mail (ABBM) from the Dallas County Elections Dept. Early Voting Clerk (https://www.dallascountyvotes.org) or from Secretary of State website at https://www.sos.state.tx.us.
You may also print an ABBM directly from Secretary of State website (PDF),
English Version (PDF): https://webservices.sos.state.tx.us/forms/5-15f.pdf
Spanish Version (PDF): https://webservices.sos.state.tx.us/forms/5-15fs.pdf.
Once received, read the instructions carefully, complete the ABBM form and return it to the Early Voting Clerk. For the May 4, 2019 Election date, the last day for the early voting clerk to receive applications for a ballot to be voted by mail is April 23, 2019, in order for you to receive a ballot by mail. All applications to vote by mail must be received by the early voting clerk before the close of regular business or 12 noon, whichever is later. The deadline to receive ballots mailed within the United States from non-military and military voters who submitted an Application for Ballot by Mail (“ABBM”) is 5:00 p.m. on Monday, May 6, 2019, if the carrier envelope has a postmark showing it was in the mail by May 4, 2019. Please note that different deadlines apply to the last day to receive ballots sent by the following: 1) non-military and military voters who are overseas and submitted an ABBM, 2) non-military voters who mailed ballots from overseas and who submitted a Federal Postcard Application (“FPCA”), and (3) military voters who mailed ballots domestically or from overseas and who submitted a FPCA. Ballots in categories (1) and (2) must be received by the early voting clerk by May 9, 2019. Ballots in category (3) must be received by the early voting clerk by May 10, 2019. Ballots in categories (1) and (2) must bear a postmark indicating the ballot was mailed by May 4, 2019. Ballots in category (3) do not need to have any postmark.

While you do not need to bring your voter registration certificate with you to vote, we highly recommend that you have it with you at the polling place. In some situations, having your voter registration certificate will allow you to vote a regular ballot instead of a provisional ballot. For example, if you do not possess one of the seven (7) acceptable forms of photo identification, and you cannot reasonably obtain one, you can use your valid voter registration certificate as a form of supporting identification when you execute your Reasonable Impediment Declaration and vote a regular ballot. As another example, if your name does not appear on the official list of registered voters in the precinct, you may be able to cast a regular ballot by presenting your valid voter registration certificate along with an acceptable form of photo identification. In addition, for example, if you do not possess one of the seven (7) acceptable forms of identification, and you cannot reasonably obtain one, and your name is not on the official list of registered voters in the precinct, you may be able to cast a regular ballot by presenting your valid voter registration certificate and executing a Reasonable Impediment Declaration. Please note that you may contact the Dallas County Elections Department to obtain a replacement registration certificate.
-
Please note that registering with a federal post card application (typically used by the military and overseas voters) is now treated as a request for permanent registration. There are also special provisions for military and overseas voters that are available on the Secretary of State website. However, military and overseas voters are welcome to use the regular registration and early voting by mail process available to all voters away from their home county on Election Day.
-
New certificates are mailed out every two years to the most recent address you gave to the voter registrar. If you do not recall receiving a new yellow and white certificate in 2017, it could mean that you have moved without updating, or there is some other problem with your registration. If the certificate was mailed to an old address, it would have been returned to the registrar as the certificate is not forwardable mail, and you would have been placed on the "suspense list" in that county. This means you have a grace period that allows you to vote in the same county in your old precinct, but if you do not vote, your name will be removed from the rolls after two federal elections have passed since you were placed on the suspense list. If you did not receive your certificate because you moved to a new Texas county, you will need to re-register.
-
Your voter registration becomes effective 30 days after it is submitted (and accepted*) by the Dallas County Voter Registrar. The county office will then put your name on the voter registration list, generate your voter certificate, and mail it to you. Once received, be sure to read the information on the back of the certificate, sign by the X on the "front" of the card (the yellow area) and keep your voter card in a safe place.
*If your original application is missing required information, you will receive a notice in the mail and have a deadline to respond to the notice.
-
You can confirm your registration status on the Secretary of State website by going to “Am I Registered?” where you will select one of three methods for conducting your search. You can base your search on:
- your Voter Unique Identifier (VUID), which appears on your voter registration certificate;
- your Texas driver's license number, if you provided it when you applied for voter registration; or
- your first and last name. Or, you can call the Dallas County Voter Registrar’s Office @ 214-819-6389.
-
With the exception of the U.S. Citizenship Certificate, which does not expire, for voters aged 18-69, the acceptable form of photo identification may be expired no more than four years before being presented for voter qualification at the polling place. For voters aged 70 or older, the acceptable form of photo identification may be expired for any length of time if the identification is otherwise valid.
-
Election officials will review the ID (acceptable form of photo ID, or supporting form of ID, if applicable) and if a name is “substantially similar” to the name on their list of registered voters, you will still be able to vote, but you will also have to submit an affidavit stating that you are the same person on the list of registered voters.
-
Suspense means that the registrar is not certain of your residential address. If the registrar has reason to believe that a voter's current residence is different from that indicated on the registration records, then the registrar shall deliver to the voter a written confirmation notice requesting confirmation of the voter's current residence. When a Notice of Address Confirmation is sent, the voter automatically is put on suspense. As a common practice, a Notice of Address Confirmation is sent (and an individual is placed on suspense) when:
- The voter’s registration certificate has been returned as non-deliverable;
- A Jury Summons is returned as non-deliverable; or
- Any mailing that was sent to the voter was returned as non-deliverable.
- The voter registrar has received information indicating the voter no longer resides at the address on the voter’s record.
-
Voters who refuse to show proof of identity will be allowed to vote by provisional ballot. However, please be advised that a refusal to show ID is not a valid ground for casting a provisional ballot, and it is likely that the voter’s ballot will be rejected by the ballot board.
-
If a voter does not possess an acceptable form of photo ID, and cannot reasonably obtain one, the voter may still cast a regular ballot by presenting a supporting form of ID and executing a Reasonable Impediment Declaration, noting the voter’s reasonable impediment to obtaining an acceptable form of photo identification, stating that the information contained in the declaration is true, that the voter is the same individual personally appearing at the polling place to sign the declaration, and that the voter faces a reasonable impediment to procuring an acceptable form of photo identification. If a voter has continued access to their acceptable form of photo ID, but, for example, forgets to bring their acceptable form of photo ID to the polling place and/or left it, for example, at home or in their car, the voter still possesses the acceptable photo ID and must use it to vote.
Here is a list of supporting forms of ID:
- copy or original of a government document that shows the voter’s name and an address, including the voter’s voter registration certificate;
- copy of or original current utility bill;
- copy of or original bank statement;
- copy of or original government check;
- copy of or original paycheck; or
- copy of or original of (a) a certified domestic (from a U.S. state or territory) birth certificate or (b) a document confirming birth admissible in a court of law which establishes the voter’s identity (which may include a foreign birth document).
Voters with a disability may apply with the county voter registrar for a permanent exemption to presenting an acceptable photo identification or following the Reasonable Impediment Declaration procedure in the county. The application must contain written documentation from either the U.S. Social Security Administration evidencing the applicant’s disability, or from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs evidencing a disability rating of at least 50 percent. The applicant must also state that he/she does not have a form of identification prescribed by Section 63.0101 of the Texas Election Code. Those who obtain a disability exemption will be allowed to vote upon display of their voter registration certificate reflecting the exemption and will not need to execute a Reasonable Impediment Declaration. Please contact your county voter registrar for more details.
Voters who have a consistent religious objection to being photographed or who do not present an acceptable form of photo identification listed above or follow the Reasonable Impediment Declaration procedure because of certain natural disasters as declared by the President of the United States or the Texas Governor, may vote a provisional ballot, appear at the voter registrar’s office within six (6) calendar days after election day, and sign an affidavit swearing to the religious objection or natural disaster, in order for the voter’s ballot to be counted. Please contact your county voter registrar for more details.
If a voter (a) does not possess one of the seven acceptable forms of photo identification, and a voter can reasonably obtain one of these forms of identification or (b) possesses, but did not bring to the polling place, one of the seven forms of acceptable photo identification listed above, or (c) does not possess one of the seven forms of acceptable photo identification, could otherwise not obtain one due to a reasonable impediment, but did not bring a supporting form of identification to the polling place, the voter may cast a provisional ballot at the polls. However, in order to have the provisional ballot counted, the voter will be required to visit the voter registrar’s office within six calendar days of the date of the election to either present one of the acceptable forms of photo ID OR submit one of the temporary affidavits (e.g., religious objection or natural disaster) in the presence of the county voter registrar OR submit the required paperwork and sign the required statement to qualify for a permanent disability exemption in the presence of the county voter registrar, in order for the provisional ballot to count.
Alternatively, a voter who possesses an acceptable form of photo ID but does not have it at the polling place, or a voter who does not possess an acceptable form of photo ID, and is reasonably able to obtain one, may choose to leave the polling place and return before the close of the polls on election day with an acceptable form of photo ID to vote a regular ballot at that time. In addition, a voter who does not possess, would otherwise not be able to reasonably obtain an acceptable form of photo ID, but did not bring a supporting form of ID to the polling place, may choose to leave the polling place and return before the close of the polls on election day with said supporting form of ID to fill out the Reasonable Impediment Declaration and, if they otherwise qualify, vote a regular ballot at that time.
-
If a voter has continued access to their acceptable form of photo ID, but, for example, forgets to bring their acceptable form of approved photo ID to the polling place and/or left it, for example, at home or in their car, the voter still possesses the acceptable photo ID and must use it to vote. Accordingly, if you possess, but did not bring to the polling place, one of the seven (7) acceptable forms of photo identification with you when you vote in person, you may cast a “PROVISIONAL BALLOT” at the polling location instead of a regular ballot, or you may return to the polling place before the polls close on Election Day with your acceptable form of photo identification and vote a regular ballot at that time. In order to have the PROVISIONAL BALLOT counted in the election, you will have to visit the county voter registrar’s office by the sixth calendar day after Election Day. At the county voter registrar’s office, you will have to show one of the seven (7) acceptable forms of photo identification listed above, or, if you qualify, submit a natural disaster temporary affidavit referenced above. If you present a proper form of photo identification or submit the natural disaster temporary affidavit, the provisional ballot will be counted.
-
Provisional voting is designed to allow a voter whose name does not appear on the list of registered voters due to an administrative error to vote. The provisional voting process involves an affidavit that:
- the voter must complete stating the reasons he or she is qualified to vote; and
- is used if the voter's registration cannot be verified by the polling place election officials OR if a voter:
- does not possess one of the acceptable forms of photo identification listed above, and a voter can reasonably obtain one of these forms of identification or
- possesses, but did not bring to the polling place, one of the seven forms of acceptable photo identification listed above, or
- does not possess one of the seven forms of acceptable photo identification, could otherwise not reasonably obtain one, but did not bring a supporting form of identification to the polling place.
The Provisional Voting Process requires the voter to visit the Voter Registrar’s Office within six (6) calendar days of the date of the election to either present one of the above seven (7) acceptable forms of photo ID or if the voter does not possess, and cannot reasonably obtain an acceptable form of photo identification, execute a Reasonable Impediment Declaration and present one of the acceptable forms of supporting ID, OR, if applicable, submit one of the temporary affidavits (e.g., religious objection or natural disaster) OR, if applicable, qualify for a permanent disability exemption, in order for the provisional ballot to count.
The voter-marked provisional ballots are kept separately from the regular ballots, and the voter's records will be reviewed by the Provisional Voting Ballot Board (the Early Voting Ballot Board), to determine if the ballot is to be counted or rejected. If applicable, the Voter Registrar will conduct whatever research is necessary to determine whether the voter is or should have been registered in the precinct in which the voter cast the provisional ballot and will pass this information on to the Ballot Board to assist it in making the decision of whether the provisional ballot must be counted. Provisional voters will receive a notice in the mail by the 10th day after the local canvass advising them if their provisional ballots were counted, and if they were not counted, the reason why.
-
When a voter arrives at a polling location, the voter will be asked to present one of the seven (7) acceptable forms of photo ID (listed below). If a voter does not possess an acceptable form of photo identification and cannot reasonably obtain one, the voter may present a supporting form of ID and execute a Reasonable Impediment Declaration, noting the voter’s reasonable impediment to obtaining an acceptable form of photo identification, stating that the information contained in the declaration is true, that the voter is the same individual personally appearing at the polling place to sign the declaration, and that the voter faces a reasonable impediment to procuring an acceptable form of photo identification. If a voter has continued access to their acceptable form of photo ID, but, for example, forgets to bring their acceptable form of approved photo ID to the polling place and/or left it, for example, at home or in their car, the voter still possesses the acceptable photo ID and must use it to vote.
Here is a list of the acceptable forms of photo ID:
- Texas Driver License issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS)
- Texas Election Identification Certificate issued by DPS
- Texas Personal Identification Card issued by DPS
- Texas Handgun License issued by DPS
- United States Military Identification Card containing the person’s photograph
- United States Citizenship Certificate containing the person’s photograph
- United States Passport (book or card)
With the exception of the U.S. Citizenship Certificate, which does not expire, for voters aged 18-69, the acceptable form of photo identification may be expired no more than four years before being presented for voter qualification at the polling place. For voters aged 70 or older, the acceptable form of photo identification may be expired for any length of time if the identification is otherwise valid.
Here is a list of the supporting forms of ID that can be presented if the voter does not possess an acceptable form of photo identification, and cannot reasonably obtain one:
- copy or original of a government document that shows the voter’s name and an address, including the voter’s voter registration certificate;
- copy of or original current utility bill;
- copy of or original bank statement;
- copy of or original government check;
- copy of or original paycheck; or
- copy of or original of:
- a certified domestic (from a U.S. state or territory) birth certificate or
- a document confirming birth admissible in a court of law which establishes the voter’s identity (which may include a foreign birth document).
-
The identification procedures are effective immediately.
-
You will be able to find early voting locations by using the Secretary of State website (https://www.sos.state.tx.us/) by going to “Am I Registered?” (https://teamrv-mvp.sos.texas.gov/MVP/mvp.do), which will be populated with voting sites a few days before early voting begins. Or, you may want to contact the Dallas County Elections Department (located on the 8th floor of the Health & Human Services Building) 2377 N. Stemmons Frwy, Suite 820, Dallas, Texas 75207, (214) 819-6300 telephone, (214) 819-6301 facsimile, Website: https://www.dallascountyvotes.org.

Any registered voter may vote early by personal appearance (in person). Early voting by personal appearance for the November 2020 Election begins on October 13, 2020 to October 30, 2020.
-
Yes. A voter whose status is on suspense is eligible to vote in an election provided that the voter completes a Statement of Residence either when voting by mail or at the polls prior to voting (within the same county as the voter’s current registration) or (if the voter has moved to a new county) completes a Limited Ballot application during Early Voting at the main early voting polling place. A voter on Suspense who has moved within the same county would be allowed to vote on Election Day by returning to the precinct in which the voter previously resided and completing a Statement of Residence at that time. A voter may also complete a Voter Registration Application to update his/her address prior the Registration Cutoff deadline for any election and send the newly updated application to the Voter Registrar in the county in which the voter resides.
-
In Texas, a convicted felon regains the right to vote after completing his or her sentence. Therefore, once you have completed the punishment phase (including any term of incarceration, parole, or supervision, or completed a period of probation ordered by the court), you would be eligible to register and vote in the state of Texas.

Bond Election
-
It is an election where the city seeks permission from voters to authorize the future issuance of debt to pay for designated capital purchases and improvement projects.
-
The Town is finalizing an Asset Management Plan that provides a tool to evaluate the Town's assets in order to determine criteria and timelines for equipment and facility replacement. The Town has also completed an ADA transition plan that has identified millions of dollars in improvements required to make Town infrastructure and facilities ADA compliant. With all that information in hand, Council believed it was the right time to consider another bond election.
-
The bonds will be paid for from ad valorem (property) taxes.
-
Streets
- Jacobs Engineering Group developed detailed cost estimates based on:
- Current project plans, as-builts, GIS and survey information.
- Utility plans and drainage reports.
- Typical street cross sections developed based on the Town’s design standards and the Master Transportation Plan.
- Planning level cost estimates developed using costs from other recent city, county, and TxDOT construction projects.
- Soft costs were applied as a percentage of the total construction cost for administrative, engineering, legal, and construction support.
- 20% contingency was added to the cost of each project.
Parks, Buildings, Information Technology
- Consultant and contractors developed pricing for the projects.
- A 3% inflationary factor was added for each year assumed beyond 2019.
- 7% was added to HVAC to account for potential tariffs.
- A 15% project contingency was included in the cost estimates.
- Smart City initiatives added a 5% inflationary factor and 10% contingency to all costs.
- Jacobs Engineering Group developed detailed cost estimates based on:
-
If all five bond propositions were approved and the bonds were issued as currently projected, over a five year period from 2020-2024, the anticipated tax rate impact to the homeowner is currently estimated to be a potential tax increase of $0.103100 (just over 10 cents per $100 of assessed value) based on conservative interest rates and future projections of the Town’s tax base. However, the actual tax rate impact will be determined by the timing of when the bonds are sold, the prevailing interest rates, and the Town’s property values at the time of sale.
-
The Town is permitted to expend bond proceeds only for the purposes described in the corresponding proposition.
-
Addison's total debt outstanding is $145,442,153.46 which consists of $109,205,00 in principal and $36,237,153.46 in interest, including the 2019 Certificates of Obligation, as of the beginning of Fiscal Year 2020.

The Pavement Condition Index rates the condition of the surface of a road network by measuring the type, extent and severity of pavement surface distresses (typically cracks and rutting) and the smoothness and ride comfort of the road. Roads are given a rating of 0 - 100:
85 - 100: Good
70 - 85: Satisfactory
55 - 70: Fair
50 - 55: Poor
25 - 40: Very Poor
10 - 25: Serious
Less than 10: failed -
The Town is in the process of finalizing an Asset Management Plan. For more than 18 months, Addison has worked to identify and assess the Town’s nearly 60,000 physical assets that have a replacement cost of more than $950 billion. Assets include the Town's buildings, parks, landscape areas, water and wastewater facilities, streets, bridges, sidewalks, traffic signals and signs, streetlights, fleet, airport, and storm water systems. Each system was assigned a physical health score that reflects its condition and the total replacement cost. Factored into this Asset Management Risk Score is the impact if the asset fails before being replace. Under this scoring system, the cost of failure for a busy street is higher than that of a less-traveled side street.
Green: Excellent
Yellow: Good/Fair
Red: Failed/Critical

The Dallas Central Appraisal District appraises property in Dallas County to determine property values. This value is used by taxing entities, including Addison, in calculating your property taxes. Your property tax amount is calculated by taking the market value (as determined by the appraisal district) and subtracting any appropriate exemptions (granted by the appraisal district) to determine the taxable value, then multiplying this taxable value by each applicable taxing entity's tax rate. If you have questions about the appraisal process, value, exemptions, and protests visit the DCAD website or call 214-631-0910.

Firefighters routinely visit the grocery store to buy groceries for the day. Generally, they prepare two meals each shift. Groceries are purchased with their personal money and are not funded by tax payer dollars.

All our ambulances (also called Mobile Intensive Care Units, or MICUs) are staffed with two paramedics. However, many emergencies require more than two care providers to handle all the medical equipment it takes to provide the best care possible. A heart attack call is a typical example where several paramedics are necessary to evaluate, treat, lift and transport the patient as quickly and as safely as possible. Each of our engines are staffed with firefighters who are cross-trained as paramedics so it makes sense to send them along with the ambulance on certain types of medical emergencies.

We do not allow the scheduling of birthday parties at the fire station. This is due to the possibility of a call for service, which would leave the station unattended.
