Summary
Council approved a joint election agreement letting Clear Creek ISD use City Hall as a polling location on May 2, 2026; measures to separate city and school ballots were explained and the vote passed 5–0 with one abstention from a council member who is running in the election.
The Nassau Bay City Council voted on March 16 to authorize the mayor to execute a joint election agreement with the Clear Creek Independent School District to share City Hall as a polling location on May 2, 2026.
Staff explained logistics for on-site polling — separate booths on each side of the room and check-in procedures to verify Nassau Bay residency — and said the arrangement has been used previously. Council members said the shared location can increase turnout for the school-district election and improve convenience for voters. Council member Phil announced he would abstain because he is on the ballot; the remainder of the council voted in favor.
Council member moved, seconded, and the motion passed with five votes in favor, zero opposed and one abstention. Staff said the arrangement will not cost the city additional money and that the city will coordinate with the election judge and district staff to manage voter check-ins and ballot distribution.
