Val Verde County commissioners certify Nov. 4 election results in unanimous vote

The Val Verde County commissioners' court voted unanimously to accept the county's Nov. 4, 2025 constitutional amendment and joint election results during its meeting.

Commissioner Flores moved to present the canvass of the results and Commissioner Vasquez seconded; the motion passed by a 5-0 vote. Commissioners said a packet provided to the court contained total tallies for each referendum and proposition. The meeting record indicates a representative from the county's voting equipment vendor (referred to in the transcript as “ES and S”) and the secretary of state were present at some point during the process.

Members discussed post‑election procedures and machine testing. Officials noted that voting machines were tested before the election and that the county conducts a required post‑election test; the court scheduled that testing for Thursday in the county's 3rd Floor Conference Room and said the session is open to the public for transparency. The packet with the tally information will be distributed electronically to commissioners, the court said.

The court did not provide detailed vote counts for each referendum or proposition in the spoken record; the transcript indicates the packet contains those totals. The certification vote was formalized on the record and recorded as carrying unanimously.

Next procedural items and public notices discussed later in the meeting included commissioners' comments on turnout and scheduling of routine post‑election transparency measures.
