County officials explained the appraisal district uses a weighted vote: each taxing entity receives a number of votes proportional to the revenue it collects for the district. The county has nearly 1,400 of the 5,000 total votes, roughly 25 percent, and the county's ballot is due by Dec. 15.
The court asked that candidates who cannot attend provide biographies and allowed a representative to read a candidate statement at the Nov. 5 meeting. A motion to table the item and consider candidate appearances at the next regularly scheduled meeting was made and approved.
The court did not cast votes at this meeting; commissioners said they wanted to question candidates about qualifications before allocating the county's votes.
