APPLICATION OF UNDUE BURDEN STATUS
To: Office of the Secretary of State
1. From: ________________________________________________________________
(Name of County or Other Political Subdivision)
Contact Information: _____________________________________________________
(Name, title, address, and telephone number)
2. On behalf of the above-named political subdivision, I make this Application of Undue
Burden Status to provide a showing that compliance with Section 61.012(a)(1)(C) of the
Election Code creates an undue burden on our political subdivision by increasing the costs of
holding our election by at least 25% as compared to the costs of the last general election held
by our county or political subdivision before January 1, 2006.
Our political subdivision intends to provide fewer voting stations than required by Section
61.012(a)(1)(C) that meet the requirements for accessibility under 42 U.S.C. Section
15481(a)(3).
For purposes of the Application: 3.
_____ Our county has a population of 10,000 or more but less than 20,000 (or we are a
political subdivision located in a county with such population) according to the 2000
Federal Census.
_____ Our political subdivision lies in more than one county and one or more of the counties
have a population of 10,000 or more but less than 20,000 according to the 2000
Federal Census. Below are the counties which fall into my political subdivision.
Please attach additional pages if space is inadequate.

4. Our cost breakdown is as follows:*
_________________ Total estimated costs associated with conducting the upcoming
election.
5. _________________ Total costs associated with the last general election held by our
political subdivision before January 1, 2006.
I certify the above election costs are accurate to the best of my knowledge. I understand
that our political subdivision must still comply with the requirement of providing at least
one accessible voting system on election day, one accessible voting system during the early
voting period by personal appearance, and at least one mobile accessible voting system to
be deployed at least once to each branch early voting polling place which my political
subdivision has established.
