County court approves joint primary resolution for March 3, 2026
Summary
Colorado County Commissioners approved a resolution authorizing a joint primary and runoff election to be held March 3, 2026, under Texas Election Code §172.126(a).
The Colorado County Commissioners Court on Nov. 10 adopted a joint-resolution authorizing a Joint Primary Election and a Joint Runoff Election to be held March 3, 2026, under Section 172.126(a) of the Texas Election Code.
Commissioner Ryan Brandt moved to approve the resolution; Commissioner Keith Neuendorff seconded. The court recorded a 5-0 vote in favor.
According to the resolution language in the meeting packet, the Democratic and Republican county chairs — named in the contract template — will enter a 2026 Joint Primary Election Services Contract with the county election officer to conduct and supervise the joint primary and, if necessary, the runoff on May 26, 2026. The minutes identify Thomas Kelley as the Republican county chair and Wayne Lefferd (as listed in the draft) for the county party contact in the form language.
Why it matters: Authorizing a joint-primary contract sets the administrative framework and local approvals necessary for counties to provide elections services and to absorb contract terms required by the parties and by state law.
The court’s adoption of the resolution was unanimous and recorded in the official minutes.
