Commissioners order constitutional amendment election, pick Union Church and West Kerr Annex for early voting
Summary
The county ordered a constitutional amendment election for November and designated the Union Church (as main site) and the West Kerr Annex (for Ingram) for early voting; the motion passed 4‑1 amid an objection citing unresolved voting equipment certification.
Kerr County commissioners voted 4–1 to order a constitutional amendment election for November and to designate early-voting locations, naming Union Church as the primary early-voting site and the West Kerr Annex for Ingram voters.
Key points and vote - The county elections administrator (Miss Aufin) told the court early voting would run Oct. 20–31 and proposed the Hill Country Youth Event Center as the main site if available; the court settled on Union Church as the primary early‑voting location and the West Kerr Annex as the Ingram site. - The motion to order the election using Union Church and the West Kerr Annex passed 4–1. One commissioner opposed the order, citing outstanding issues with the Verity 2.5 voting equipment certification and lab testing from the last constitutional election.
Context and next steps - The court discussed logistical uncertainty because the Hill Country Youth Event Center is currently supporting emergency operations; court members said they expect TDEM demobilization and will use the youth center if it becomes available. - County staff were directed to notify venues and to finalize early‑voting arrangements with the county elections administrator; the order enables the elections office to proceed with early‑voting planning and public notice.
