The Blanco County Commissioners approved a resolution Tuesday to oppose the elimination of the countywide polling program by the state legislature.
Blanco County has participated in the countywide polling program since 2023. The program allows any registered voter to vote at any voting location in the county, instead of having to vote at their specific precinct, during both early voting and on election day.
“There is a movement afoot to eliminate countywide voting,” said Blanco County Judge Brett Bray. “…It seems to be based on from the folks who generally want to do pencils and paper ballots. I personally think it’s a misguided attempt by the legislature, regardless of party, to lump Blanco Coun ty and Burnet County and Llano County in with Harris County. They’re two totally different animals.
