The Hays County Elections Office expects an increase of voting by mail in the upcoming election due to concerns over crowds at polling stations during a pandemic.
The commissioners court is preparing for the quickly approaching registration deadline exactly one month away by applying for several election related grants and soliciting proposals for the operations of ballot-by-mail.
The commissioners will vote on applying for three grants from the state and federal government regarding COVID-19 and Election Cyber Security: the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) 2020 CARES Act Grant, 2018 Election Security Grant and the 2020 Election Security Grant.
