Parker County signs joint‑primary resolution for 2026 after party chairs' signatures
Summary
Commissioners approved a joint‑primary election service resolution for 2026 after county elections staff reported that both party chairs had signed the contract; the court voted 5–0 to authorize the county judge to sign.
Parker County commissioners on Nov. 24 authorized a joint‑primary service contract for 2026 that county elections officials said is already signed by both local party chairs. The resolution covers the March 3, 2026 primary and the May 26, 2026 runoff and general election dates; commissioners voted 5–0 to approve the court signing.
"Both the party chairs have signed the contract with the county to hold the joint primary for 2026," elections staff said, urging the court to add the county's signatures so the election can proceed under the joint arrangement. County leaders said they would sign the resolution and work with elections staff to finalize logistics. The court moved and carried the resolution without further discussion.
Next steps include routing the signed resolution to the county elections administrator and publishing any voter information related to polling locations and early‑voting schedules. The elections administrator told the court staff will prepare signage and other voter‑information materials once the schedule and contract are finalized.
