During a recent meeting of the San Patricio County Commissioner's Court, the ongoing operations of the Election Administrator's office were a focal point of discussion. The Election Administrator addressed concerns regarding the office's accessibility, clarifying that despite the physical closure of the office, essential business activities continued uninterrupted.

The administrator explained that while the office doors may have been locked, staff remained engaged in their duties through remote means, including forwarding office calls to personal cell phones. This adaptability allowed the team to maintain communication and support for the community, even while attending meetings at the state capitol.

However, the administrator noted that staff members were required to take annual leave days due to comments made about their work situation, despite their ongoing commitment to serving the public. This situation highlights the challenges faced by government employees in balancing operational needs with administrative policies.

Looking ahead, the Election Administrator emphasized the importance of preparing for upcoming elections, stating that polling places are being set up for training and other essential functions. The commitment to conducting business seven days a week if necessary reflects a dedication to ensuring the integrity and efficiency of elections in San Patricio County.

With two decades of service in this role, the Election Administrator reaffirmed a commitment to uphold the highest standards of integrity in every election, thanking the community for their trust and support. As the county prepares for future electoral events, the focus remains on maintaining transparency and accessibility for all residents.
