Background Information:
Section 31.092 (a) of the Texas Election Code allows for Local Political Subdivisions to contract with the Election Officer of the County that oversees Elections in which the Local Political Subdivision resides. The City of San Marcos has contracted with the Hays County Elections Administrator since 2005 when the City began having their Elections in November.
If approved the Hays County Elections Administrator will serve as the Election Officer and Early Voting Clerk to conduct the Election on behalf of the City. The City Clerk will still have an active role in the Election process.
