Resolution # 1
Submitted for:	Oscar Villarreal	Submitted By:	Oscar Villarreal
Department:	Elections Administration

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to approve a Resolution and Order authorizing and establishing the Main and Temporary Branch Early Voting Polling Sites for the November 7, 2017 Special Election Pursuant to Chapter 85, Texas Election Code.

Issue: The 85th Legislature approved seven (7) proposed Constitutional Amendments to appear on the November Uniform Election Day ballot. Additionally, Webb County ordered one proposition for a new Jail Facility appear on said ballot. The county is responsible for all expenses to be incurred in conducting this election but typically, not many voters participate in these types of elections.

Solution: Create one early voting site in each commissioner’s precinct will allow all voters the opportunity to cast their ballots at any one of these sites.

Result: Creating the main and the four branch early voting sites will give voters throughout the county access to cast their ballots for a two week period during early voting including one Saturday.
