1. DISCUSS AND CONSIDER ANY/ALL NECESSARY ACTION REGARDING POLLING
LOCATIONS FOR THE NOVEMBER 4, 2025 ELECTION.
Schelana Hock provided some background information. Prior to the Commissioners Court
adopting countywide polling, there were typically 5 voting locations available for
constitutional amendment elections, which generally have lower voter turnout than primary
and general elections. Since adopting the countywide polling, the County Clerk is required to
have at least one polling location per precinct. She is proposing two locations per precinct for
this election, as listed in the attachment. She intends to present 12 polling locations for the
primary and general elections in 2026.
