McLennan County Commissioners Court on Oct. 21 unanimously adopted a resolution to redraw county commissioners precinct boundaries, saying the plan will better balance population and road-mile responsibilities and be used for future elections beginning Nov. 6, 2025.

The court’s resolution adopts the map posted October 15 and referenced an attached Exhibit A that lists the specific voting tabulation district (VTD) moves. The resolution states the plan will “hereby be established” as described in the exhibit and become the basis for future elections.

Court members discussed the practical impacts of the changes before the vote. One commissioner who represents Precinct 4 said the precinct historically carried nearly 400 miles of roads and bridges and that shifting some road miles to other precincts could ease next year’s budget request by lowering the precinct’s maintenance workload. Another commissioner said the map “cleaned up the lines” for his precinct, removing odd “heads and arms” that extended precinct boundaries. The County Judge and other commissioners emphasized the goal of balancing population and workload so each precinct more nearly reflects “one person, one vote.”

The resolution details transfers of VTDs among precincts (the adopted exhibit lists VTD identifiers moving between Precincts 1–4). The court recorded the motion, a second and a unanimous aye vote. The resolution states the plan becomes effective Nov. 6, 2025 and will be used for conducting elections thereafter.

The court did not attach census-based population figures to the public comments recorded during the meeting; commissioners noted the next formal opportunity to reassess boundaries would be after the next decennial census.

The court’s action is administrative and establishes local precinct boundaries for the county’s election administration and road/bridge workload allocation. No legal challenge or judicial matter was raised during the discussion.

The court moved directly from the redistricting item to the consent agenda after reading the resolution into the record and adopting it by unanimous vote.
