Commissioners add Starbase/Astra site and extend hours for May 26 runoff early voting
Summary
Elections staff recommended and the court approved adding a publicly accessible early voting location at the Starbase/Astra school building and extending hours to 8 a.m.–8 p.m. for the May 26, 2026 runoff; the court approved the recommended schedule.
The Commissioners Court approved elections staff recommendations on early voting locations and hours for the May 26, 2026 primary runoff. Elections staff (Remy) said jurisdictions that run the election wanted an additional location at Starbase/Astra (the old school building) and that the site is publicly accessible. The court approved adding the location without removing existing sites and set early voting hours to 8 a.m.–8 p.m. on all early voting days.
Why it matters: the change aims to increase voter access by adding a location in a part of the county with interest in access to Starbase/Astra; staff emphasized the location is outside secured launch‑area demarcations and is publicly accessible for voters.
