Elections Administration - Yvonne Ramon:
A.
Vote Center Selection Committee Update
-Ms. Ramon thanked the committee for all their hard work and dedication put into the research of the vote centers.
-Eli Olivarez, Chairman to the Vote Center Committee, provided the Court an update on the participation and recommendations of the committee. Mr. Olivarez reiterated that the Vote Centers will be for the November 2013 Constitutional Election only and will be used to get data for future elections. He explained that by creating the vote centers, the county will be providing its residents greater convenience and access to polling locations and stated that the committee's general recommendation is to move away from the schools. Olivarez concluded "that there will never be a wrong voting place in Hidalgo County, therefore; it is the committee's opinion that Hidalgo County will experience a higher voter turnout".
-Rosalie Weisfeld questioned the amount of the budget, lack of information and cost to obtain and maintain the Vote Centers. Ms. Weisfeld expressed concerns that voters would be negatively affected by removing some schools from the list of polling locations.
-Commissioner Hector Palacios expressed concerns with Napper Elementary in Pharr not being on the list of Vote Centers/Polling Locations and asked that the Court consider adding it to the list.
-Elise Alvarado, Advocacy Alliance Center of Texas (AACT) Board President, stated that even though the committee nor the County have empirical data, that they should go forward with the Vote Centers because they have "Nothing to Loose" and should take into consideration the impact on future voting.
-Cindy Garza-Reyes, District Director for Congressman Ruben Hinojosa, read a letter of support on the implementation of Vote Centers as a pilot program. In his letter, Congressman Hinojosa expressed that Vote Centers have convenient access and that the County should consider the pilot program which may increase voter turnout and possibly federal dollars.
-Annette Muniz also asked that the Court consider moving away from the schools for the safety of the children but that they proceed with the Vote Centers pilot program.
-Ann Williams Cass, with Proyecto Azteca and the Equal Voice Network, commented that they have supported voting centers but asks that they maintain the neighborhood locations to accommodate the low income.
Daniel Diaz, with the Equal Voice Network and La Union de Pueblo Entero,
explained that they are big believers in Voting Centers but after reviewing the Secretary of States's report, believes that not everyone who had vote centers increased their voting numbers.
-Commissioner Joseph Palacios congratulated the committee on the work they've done. Commissioner Palacios stated that they need to do a lot of public involvement to make the people aware of what the County is trying to do, however; he mention that he would like to see Jefferson Elementary in Edinburg and Gonzalez in McAllen on the list of voting locations.
-Ms. Ramon clarified that whatever data is obtained is by polling location. She quoted Lubbock County..."The only way to truly get empirical data on vote centers is to begin," because there is nothing else to compare with. In addition, she explained that along with the UT Pan Am and STC, she plans on conducting a survey to track where people vote and whether it's near where they live or work. Discussion continued and Ramon explained that the budget is in place and that not all of the same 30 locations from 2011 are available due to space constraints, traffic, etc. The Court expressed that they wish to contact the various governmental entities within the county to discuss the voting locations, what the plans of the county are, etc. Ms. Ramon informed the Court that only twelve counties are allowed to use the pilot programs and that she will contact the state and other counties to ask about their time lines.
-Judge Garcia reiterated that he would send out a letter to the city commissions and the school boards to inform them on what the county plans to do, in attempts to speed up the process.
-Ms. Ramon thanked the committee for all their hard work and dedication put into the research of the vote centers.
-Eli Olivarez, Chairman to the Vote Center Committee, provided the Court an update on the participation and recommendations of the committee. Mr. Olivarez reiterated that the Vote Centers will be for the November 2013 Constitutional Election only and will be used to get data for future elections. He explained that by creating the vote centers, the county will be providing its residents greater convenience and access to polling locations and stated that the committee's general recommendation is to move away from the schools. Olivarez concluded "that there will never be a wrong voting place in Hidalgo County, therefore; it is the committee's opinion that Hidalgo County will experience a higher voter turnout".
-Rosalie Weisfeld questioned the amount of the budget, lack of information and cost to obtain and maintain the Vote Centers. Ms. Weisfeld expressed concerns that voters would be negatively affected by removing some schools from the list of polling locations.
-Commissioner Hector Palacios expressed concerns with Napper Elementary in Pharr not being on the list of Vote Centers/Polling Locations and asked that the Court consider adding it to the list.
-Elise Alvarado, Advocacy Alliance Center of Texas (AACT) Board President, stated that even though the committee nor the County have empirical data, that they should go forward with the Vote Centers because they have "Nothing to Loose" and should take into consideration the impact on future voting.
-Cindy Garza-Reyes, District Director for Congressman Ruben Hinojosa, read a letter of support on the implementation of Vote Centers as a pilot program. In his letter, Congressman Hinojosa expressed that Vote Centers have convenient access and that the County should consider the pilot program which may increase voter turnout and possibly federal dollars.
-Annette Muniz also asked that the Court consider moving away from the schools for the safety of the children but that they proceed with the Vote Centers pilot program.
-Ann Williams Cass, with Proyecto Azteca and the Equal Voice Network, commented that they have supported voting centers but asks that they maintain the neighborhood locations to accommodate the low income.
Daniel Diaz, with the Equal Voice Network and La Union de Pueblo Entero,
explained that they are big believers in Voting Centers but after reviewing the Secretary of States's report, believes that not everyone who had vote centers increased their voting numbers.
-Commissioner Joseph Palacios congratulated the committee on the work they've done. Commissioner Palacios stated that they need to do a lot of public involvement to make the people aware of what the County is trying to do, however; he mention that he would like to see Jefferson Elementary in Edinburg and Gonzalez in McAllen on the list of voting locations.
-Ms. Ramon clarified that whatever data is obtained is by polling location. She quoted Lubbock County..."The only way to truly get empirical data on vote centers is to begin," because there is nothing else to compare with. In addition, she explained that along with the UT Pan Am and STC, she plans on conducting a survey to track where people vote and whether it's near where they live or work. Discussion continued and Ramon explained that the budget is in place and that not all of the same 30 locations from 2011 are available due to space constraints, traffic, etc. The Court expressed that they wish to contact the various governmental entities within the county to discuss the voting locations, what the plans of the county are, etc. Ms. Ramon informed the Court that only twelve counties are allowed to use the pilot programs and that she will contact the state and other counties to ask about their time lines.
-Judge Garcia reiterated that he would send out a letter to the city commissions and the school boards to inform them on what the county plans to do, in attempts to speed up the process.
