Wise County authorized to contract with cities and districts for May 2 elections
Summary
The Court authorized Elections Administrator Sabra Srader to enter Joint Election Agreements for the May 2, 2026 General and Special Election under Texas Election Code provisions; contracted entities include several cities and school districts and one WCID.
The Wise County Commissioners' Court authorized Elections Administrator Sabra Srader to enter into Joint Election Agreements and Contracts for Election Services for the May 2, 2026 General and Special Election pursuant to section 31.092 and Chapter 271 of the Texas Election Code. The motion was presented by Elections staff and adopted unanimously.
Chief Deputy Amanda Knox identified the political subdivisions seeking contracts as the cities of Alvord, Bridgeport, Chico, Fort Worth, Lake Bridgeport, and Runaway Bay, along with Bridgeport ISD, Decatur ISD, and Rolling V Ranch WCID #1; the City of Boyd and Boyd ISD canceled because races were uncontested. Knox "requests authorization to contract with various political subdivisions for election services," per the minutes. The authorization allows the Elections Administrator to execute joint election agreements and provide election services to those subdivisions for the May 2 elections.
No additional costs or changes to voting procedures were detailed in the minutes; the Court recorded unanimous approval of the authorization.
