A news release from Brazos County announces a mistake in the list of early voting locations for this November’s general election will be corrected at the next county commission meeting. Elections administrator Trudy Hancock says a student caught the omission of Texas A&M’s memorial student center (MSC) as an early voting location. Hancock says commissioners will amend the election order adding the MSC and deleting College Station city hall as an early voting location. Voter registration for the November 5th election continues through October 7th. Hancock says sample ballots won’t be ready until the Texas secretary of state submits names of state and federal candidates. She says the state won’t release that information until August 29th.

News release from Brazos County: Brazos County elections officials have been made aware of a mistake in the Order for the November 5, 2024 General and Special Election and are correcting the oversight. The Order, which was adopted by Brazos County commissioners during the August 13, 2024 regular meeting, listed College Station City Hall as an early voting location, but did not list the Memorial Student Center on the Texas A&M campus. This was simply a case of human error. The August 27, 2024 regular meeting of commissioners court will address this mistake and offer an amended order to remove College Station City Hall and replace it with the Memorial Student Center. “I am so thankful to the student who reached out to me for clarification on this issue, “ said Brazos County Elections Administrator Trudy Hancock. “Even with all of the people who proof-read the order, no one caught the mistake. He was professional and courteous in bringing it to our attention. I encourage anyone with elections questions to always feel free to contact our office.” Hancock says this will not affect early voting in any way.
In November 2023, Texas voters changed the state constitution by adding elected members to appraisal district boards. In May 2024, three people were elected to represent the Brazos Central Appraisal District (BCAD) board. Thursday (August 22) was the first meeting for the first elected members of the BCAD board. Rafael Pena and Jane Sherman were sworn in, along with Brazos County’s new tax assessor-collector Melissa Leonard. Also elected but absent from Thursday’s meeting was Jonna Schreiber. Board members, elected and appointed, are not involved in setting property values or hearing appeals. Board members appoint the chief appraiser, adopt the annual budget and biennial reappraisal plan, approve litigation settlements, and approve contract services.
