Notice of Public Meetings

A county election board is established in each county for the general election for state and county officers, a special election for an officer regularly elected at the general election, and any other election ordered by a county authority or held at county expense. [Sec. 51.002]

In the general election for state and county officers or a special election for an officer regularly elected at the general election, the county election board is made up of the county election officer (elections administrator), county judge, sheriff, and county chair of each political party required to nominate candidates by primary election. For other elections, the county election board is made up of the county judge, county election officer, and sheriff. The election administrator is the chair of the board. [Sec. 51.002]

In an election for which the county election board is established, the county election board is responsible for reviewing and approving the selection of election supplies by the county election officer. The county election board also has other specific duties in the general election for state and county officers and special elections for which the use of county election precincts is required. [Secs. 42.008, 51.003, 87.002, 87.027]

In a primary election, the duties that the county election board would perform in the general election for state and county officers are typically handled by the county chair and the county executive committee for the party holding the primary election, or by the county election officer if the parties are holding a joint primary election. [Secs. 51.003, 172.126]

A meeting of the county election board must be held in person and open to the public. The county election officer shall post notice of the meeting on the county’s website no later than 48 hours before each meeting of the county election board. [Sec. 51.002]
