Summary

County elections staff presented changes creating three new precincts and shifting territory among several precincts—primarily in West Waco—to keep registered voters per precinct under the Texas Election Code cap of 5,000; commissioners approved the changes.

Elections staff (Jared) told the court the county will redraw multiple precinct lines to comply with the Texas Election Code's limit that no election precinct exceed 5,000 registered voters. Proposed changes include splitting Precinct 51 to create Precinct 93 in West Waco; splitting Precinct 63 to create Precinct 92; moving parts of Precincts 54, 78 and 79 among neighboring precincts; and splitting Precinct 81 to create Precinct 94 north of Waco in the China Spring area.

Jared said the changes should not affect recent commissioner district changes and are intended to keep precinct populations below the statutory threshold. The court voted to approve the recommended precinct adjustments.
