Officials report about 1,000 voter‑registration applications processed last week; some cards may arrive after election
Summary
Elections staff said they processed roughly 1,000 registration applications the prior week, noted several thousand missed the cutoff, and warned that some registrants will not receive voter cards until after the election due to deadlines.
John Oldham summarized recent voter‑registration activity to the commission, saying staff "processed about 1,000 applications last week" but that a few thousand additional applications missed the cutoff deadline. He warned that, as a result, "some registered voter[s] will not get their voter card until after election due to cutoff deadline."
Oldham added that the office is receiving registration data from both the Secretary of State and Harris County, and staff are processing those transfers as they arrive. Commissioners did not vote on policy changes; the update was informational and focused on ensuring registrants understand mailing and cutoff timing.
