Court approves $32,500 for PlanYourVoteSA website after commissioners debate website redundancy
Summary
Commissioners approved a $32,500 purchase order for PlanYourVoteSA to support voter information through the 2026 election cycle while discussing consolidating that content into the county elections website after the cycle.
The Commissioners Court approved a request to fund PlanYourVoteSA (a voter-information website) with $32,500 for services through the 2026 election cycle, while several commissioners urged consolidation with the county’s official elections site after the election.
Commissioner Moody argued the separate site duplicates information already available on the Bexar County Elections Department site and risks confusing voters. “I can't support continuing to put money into a separate alternative website, when I think the information is clearly on both of the websites,” Moody said. Commissioner Rodriguez and others said PlanYourVoteSA provides additional candidate and primary‑election detail and that the elections administrator has committed to merge the sites after the 2026 cycle.
Commissioners approved the funding by voice vote; staff and the elections administrator said the aim is to ensure voter access and that the office will pursue an eventual integration of resources after the 2026 elections.
