Summary
Elections staff received approval for temporary early-voting branch locations, including mobile-unit visits to La Victoria, Bel Gonzales and San Isidro/Salineno, and the court approved the notice of election for the March 3 primary.
On June 12, the Starr County Commissioners Court approved early-voting branch locations and the official notice of election for the March 3 primary.
Elections official Miss Martinez explained the county is eligible to establish a temporary branch provided it meets minimum requirements (8-hour days for at least two days). The proposed plan uses a mobile unit to provide temporary branch services with scheduled visits: two days in San Isidro, two days in Salineno and five days in La Victoria, plus other regular early-voting locations. The court approved the branch plan and moved to include the temporary branch on the posted notice of election.
Commissioners and staff also discussed moving certain precinct locations (mentions of La Rosita Library and Escobar as election-day locations) and confirmed election-day arrangements for Precinct 3 and other precincts as described on the record.
