Sample speech and
how to find the Courthouse

The Denton County Commissioners Court public input session begins at 9 am on Tuesday mornings in the new Denton County Administration Courthouse, 1 Courthouse Drive, Denton (just past Aldi's on Loop 288).  You must sign up in advance.

Commissioners will listen to you.  They will not ask questions or argue with you.

 

Bold items are for your information.  Once you've written you speech, it’s a good item to time it so it’s under the 3-minute speaking limit the commission enforces.

Draft of sample speech to copy-paste and edit

My name is XXXXX, I am a registered voter in Denton County.  I live at (your home address).

 

(This would be a good place to add a) how long you’ve voted in Denton County, particularly if it’s quite a while, and b) if you are — or have been — an election worker in Denton County.)

 

I am here today to ask that you quickly take action to set up voting centers in Denton County so we can vote at any polling place in the county on Election Day, just as we do for early voting.

 

We are blessed with a very secure voting system with paper ballot backup, yet every year, thousands of legally registered voters here lose theright to vote on Election Day because we do not have voting centers on Election Day, as 99 other counties in Texas do.

 

On Election Day for the 2024 primary runoff, 15% of all voters were turned away at least once.  On Election Day Nov. 5, 11% were told they could not vote at the first polling place they visited.

 

(If this has happened to you or someone you know, add that anecdote here.  If you are an election worker and have had to send voters to other locations, add that anecdote.)

 

I hope you’ll act on this soon. Thank you for your time.

How to find the Denton County Administrative Courthouse

This is the Denton County Administrative Courthouse.  It is NOT the building on the square in downtown Denton.

The Commissioners meet at One Courthouse Drive, off Loop 288 north of Aldi's.  Take the Lillian Miller exit off I-35, turn left onto Loop 288 going north, then right onto Courthouse Drive.
