5. Coordinate Convenient, Efficient, and Sound Municipal Elections
2.1 – Provide responsive, efficient city services
5.4 – Actively seek public-private partnerships

The City Secretary serves as Elections Administrator to
provide fair and legal City of Colleyville elections efficiently.
As such, the City Secretary ensures the annual municipal
elections are held in compliance with local, state and
federal election laws and regulations. This office does this
by fostering an excellent partnership with the Tarrant
County Election Administration for election services and
equipment, which provides a cost savings to the City. In
addition to municipal elections, the City Secretary facilitates
and coordinates early voting for county, state and federal
elections. In an effort to go green, the City Secretary’s
Office provides all forms, including the candidate packet, on
the City’s website. As the local filing authority, the City
Secretary receives and makes available to the public all
candidate applications and campaign finance reports. The Office
actively promotes public education of the municipal elections. Citizens can locate information
relative to local, state, and federal elections, such as Early Voting locations, Election Day polling
locations, sample ballots, and instructions for voting by mail ballot on the City’s website.
