On a case-by-case basis, the Elections Administrator may consider administering an entities election for portions outside of Denton County. X. RUNOFF ELECTIONS Each participating authority shall have the option of extending the terms of this agreement through its runoff election, if applicable. In the event of such runoff election, the terms of this agreement shall automatically extend unless the participating authority notifies the Elections Administrator in writing within three (3) business days of the original election.

XI. ELECTION EXPENSES AND ALLOCATION OF COSTS The participating authorities agree to share the costs of administering the Joint Election. Allocation of general expenses, which are not directly attributable to an individual polling location, will be expensed by each participating authority’s percentage of registered voters of the total registered voters of all participating authorities. Expenses for Early Voting by personal appearance shall be allocated based upon the actual costs associated with each early voting location. Each participating authority shall be responsible for an equal portion of the actual costs associated with the early voting locations within their jurisdiction. Participating authorities that do not have a polling location within their jurisdiction shall pay an equal portion of the nearest polling location. If an entity requests an Early Voting location outside of their jurisdiction and the request is granted, the participating authority shall be responsible for an equal portion of the actual cost associated with the early voting location requested. Election Day location expenses will be allocated based on each participating authority’s percentage of registered voters assigned to each polling place. In the event that participating authorities with overlapping boundaries cannot make an agreement on Early Voting and/or Election Day locations, the requesting participating authority agrees to bear the entire expense of the location. Final determination of Early Voting and/or Election Day locations will be confirmed by the Elections Administrator. Each participating authority requesting additional hours, outside of the standard hours, for a location or locations, agree to split the cost of the additional open hours equally amongst the requesting participating authorities. Costs for Early Voting by mail, in-person ballots, ballots, provisional ballots, and Poll Pad paper shall be allocated according to the actual number of ballots issued to each participating authority’s voters and the cost shared equally amongst participating authorities of each ballot style. Each participating authority agrees to pay the Elections Administrator an administrative fee equal to ten percent (10%) of its total billable costs in accordance with Section 31.100(d) of the Texas Election Code. The Elections Administrator shall deposit all funds payable under this contract into the appropriate fund(s) within the county treasury in accordance with Election Code Section 31.100. Page 32 Item 5. The Elections Administrator reserves the right to adjust the above formulas in agreement with an individual jurisdiction if the above formula results in a cost allocation that is inequitable. If any participating authority makes a special request for extra Temporary Branch Early Voting by Personal Appearance locations as provided by the Texas Election Code, that entity agrees to pay the entire cost for that request. Participating authorities having the majority of their voters in another county, and/or fewer than 500 registered voters in Denton County, and that do not have an Election Day polling place or early voting location within their Denton County territory shall pay a flat fee of $750 for election expenses. Election expenses, including but not limited to, overtime charges for Election Office staff, and any unforeseen expenses needed to conduct the election, will be borne by the participating authority or authorities, affected. The fee for programming each participating authority’s election will be based on the number of races within their election.

Page 1 of 17 TEXAS MUNICIPAL CLERKS CERTIFICATION PROGRAM Election Calendar For a City’s General Election on May 3, 2025 (last updated December 3, 2024; subject to 89th Legislative Session) Abbreviations in the calendar are the same as those in the Texas Municipal Election Law Manual (6th edition) [M]. This most recent edition has a green cover. Check that you have any updated pages that address legislative changes since the edition was originally printed. This calendar does not apply to all elections. For example, to prepare a calendar for a special election to fill a vacancy in office (even one on a uniform election date), see M §12.03; for a special election on a measure, see M §12.12. This calendar omits actions that vary from one city to another (for example, preparation of voting equipment). Each city secretary should use the chart at M §1.62 to create a personal election calendar. Always verify the latest version of this calendar on the TMCA’s website. The calendar is subject to correction and legislative change. Dates in column 1 are 2025 unless noted otherwise. Actions in column 2 relate to general elections (those in italics pertain to early voting). Actions are typically taken by the city secretary, but deviations appear in column 3. Column 4 is a cross reference to the Elections Manual. If this cross reference includes a year, then refer to the updated page, not the originally printed one. “ED Interval” in column 5 indicates the time between the date of the action and election day. For example, the notation “50th” in the entry for March 14 means mandatory office hours begin the 50th day before election day; the notation “+10” in the entry for May 13 means that the LAST DAY for the presiding judge of the early voting ballot board to mail voters notices of rejected mail ballots is the 10th day after election day. An asterisk (*) in this column indicates the time stated is not required by statute. When a statutory provision prescribes the LAST DAY for the performance of an act, the number in column 5 reflects that day. If the statutory date is moved because of a Saturday, Sunday, or state or national holiday [M §1.52(b); endnote 6], the resulting date is designated in column 1, and column 5 indicates, in parentheses and italics, the actual number of days measured from election day. Not all due dates revolve around election day and are so noted. The last column has been reserved to show completion of the event in column 2. A dashed line in the table between entries indicates separate events that fall on the same day. When reading the Election Code, read the chapter and subchapter titles to determine if the section applies to cities. Not all sections apply. Note that counties cannot order elections of their own in May of even-numbered years and may decline to contract with cities at that time. Page 38 Item 5.
