In a recent Liberty County Commissioners Court meeting, election officials reported that a total of 31,270 votes were cast in the latest election, following the rejection of some provisional ballots and those from non-registered voters. This figure comes from an initial count of 31,656 voters, highlighting the importance of accurate voter registration.

However, the meeting revealed an unusual discrepancy in the voting precinct reports. Officials noted that while there should be 28 active precincts, the report mistakenly indicated 29 due to the inclusion of a countywide reporting category that was not an actual voting precinct. This confusion arose from a technical error, but officials assured that all 28 voting locations were accounted for, including 22 on Election Day, five during early voting, and one absentee ballot.

The clarification aims to reassure the public about the integrity of the election process in Liberty County, emphasizing that all polling places were properly reported and that the voting system remains robust. As the county moves forward, officials are committed to ensuring transparency and accuracy in future elections.
