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 3, 2015 Special Constitutional Amendment Election Pursuant to Chapter 85, Texas Election Code.

Issue: The 84^th Legislature approved seven constitutional amendments to appear on the November Uniform Election Day ballot but the county is responsible for conducting and paying for the election. Typically, not many voters participate in these constitutional amendment elections.

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

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