Court clarifies bilingual early-voting calendar, approves schedule
Summary
Collin County commissioners approved the county's early-voting calendar after staff identified a Spanish-language error that said 'no voting' for a Monday that the English calendar listed as a voting day; staff will replace the packet page with the corrected calendar.
The Collin County Commissioners Court approved the county's early-voting calendar after staff clarified a bilingual inconsistency in the packet. The judge noted the English version listed early voting on Monday, Feb. 16, while the Spanish version incorrectly indicated "no voting" for that day; staff said the calendar page in the packet would be replaced with the corrected version.
Commissioners voted 5–0 to adopt the calendar after the clarification. The court said early voting will begin Tuesday, Feb. 17, with hours shown in the packet, and that staff would ensure the Spanish-language calendar reflects the same start date as the English-language version. "If you move back 1 day to Monday, February 16, in the English, it says early voting. In the Spanish, underneath it says... 'no voting,' and so that's where the mistake is," the presiding officer said during discussion.
