Brazos County commissioners expect to spend more than $1 million dollars in more voting equipment.
The first quarter of that expenditure, $256,875, was approved during the commission’s September 5, 2023 meeting.
Elections administrator Trudy Hancock says that was required by senate bill 924, which did not provide state money for the additional equipment.

Hancock also says SB 924 requires Brazos County to operate eight more voting locations starting with the March 2024 primary election.
There is no change in the polling locations for the November 2023 election, which Hancock says is considered a special election.
SB 924 was approved by all three members of the Brazos County legislative delegation.
