Hays County Commissioners Court supports Countywide Polling Place Program

SAN MARCOS  — At its Tuesday, Jan. 28, meeting, the Hays County Commissioners Court unanimously approved a resolution supporting the Countywide Polling Place Program and using electronic poll books in future elections.

This resolution is to show support at the legislative level for the program and equipment that was adopted for use in Hays County.  Some bills seek to eliminate the vote center program and deployment of electronic poll books, according to agenda documents.

Hays County has been participating in the Countywide Polling Place Program since 2019 and approximately 80% of the state’s voters cast ballots in the program, according to Elections Administrator Jennifer Doinoff.
