Limestone County panel approves early-voting sites and hours, confirms joint-election contracts
Summary
Unidentified Speaker 2 presented item 14 covering early-voting locations, satellite-site hours and joint-election service contracts; the body approved the packet in a single voice vote and agreed to basic logistics including a porta-potty at a public site.
Unidentified Speaker 2, the presenter, walked the body through item 14 — a multi-page elections packet — and asked members to consider taking a single combined vote if they agreed to the listed items. "The first item, 14, is to serve all over the Limestone County at both early voting polling locations," Speaker 2 said, describing the main courthouse site and satellite locations.
Speaker 2 outlined required early-voting hours and said the office had requested the same schedule at satellite sites. "That Saturday, we have 12 hours of required voting. Sunday, we're required to have 6," Speaker 2 said, and added that weekday early-voting hours are the routine seven hours per day. Speaker 2 also asked that the Mejia and Rosebeck satellite sites have the same hours as the main location for the election.
On logistics, Speaker 2 requested placing a porta-potty at the Denver Public location for election day to support election workers who spent extended hours on March 3. The presenter also listed election services contracts and joint-election arrangements with local entities, citing examples listed in the agenda: Grossback ISD and the City of Grossback with South Limestone (joint election), and other entities shown on the agenda (Mejai ISD; City of Mejai; City of Kehayen; City of Coolidge; Iqraassee; City of Walker).
Unidentified Speaker 1 moved to reapprove item 14, letters a through x; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. No recorded opposition was announced. The body then moved on to budget item 15.
The approval covers designation of the main early-voting location, the listed satellite sites and the listed contracts as presented in the packet. The packet and the voice vote record do not include roll-call tallies; the vote was taken by voice.
