The City Clerk is the elections official for the City of Farmersville, responsible for conducting municipal elections and provides election support to officeholders, candidates, and ballot measure proponents and opponents.

The City of Farmersville regular General Municipal Election is held on the first Tuesday following the first Monday in November on even-numbered years.
