Crockett sets May 2 council election, approves county election services
Summary
Council adopted a resolution calling the regular election for council seats and approved a joint-election agreement with Houston County to administer voting and early‑voting locations for the May 2, 2026 election.
The council approved a resolution calling the regular municipal election for council members and authorized a joint-election services contract with Houston County.
Staff said the election was scheduled for May 2, 2026, with polling hours 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The resolution called the election for the city's council precincts (as listed in the packet); staff directed council to appendix F for contract cost figures and said early voting arrangements would follow the county's normal polling‑place schedule (with early voting at the senior citizens building). Council member Speaker 3 moved to approve the resolution and, during the subsequent agenda item, the council approved the county election-services contract for the same election.
A council member raised that one precinct's polling place had changed from Crockett High School; staff attributed the change to county-level decisions, noting the high school lacked reliable internet for county equipment. Both the resolution and the election-services contract were approved by voice vote.
