Sponsors:Sherry Mashburn Indexes: Code sections: Attachments: Action ByDate Action ResultVer. Presentation and discussion on proposed Vote Centers for Brazos County. Relationship to Strategic Goals: ·Good Governance Recommendation(s): None Summary: Karen McQueen, Brazos County Clerk, will brief the Council on a proposal to implement county-wide Vote Centers for the November 2015 election - for Election Day voting only. For this first year, the proposal is to utilize 25 polling locations; after one year, those can be reduced by 50%. Fewer polling locations equate to less cost due to possibly fewer machines, fewer workers, and fewer translators. The polling locations will still need a good internet connection, DREs for voting, electroninc pollbooks that check in voters system-wide in real time, and must be ADA compliant. Polling locations will also need to be placed so that voters are not "disenfranchised". For local entity elections, every race in which the voter is eligible to vote is on one ballot, and the voter can go to any polling location within the County they desire. This item will also be on the Consent Agenda for consideration. Budget & Financial Summary: The impact to the budget should be minimal, and should actually reduce our annual expense on the conduct of elections.
