In a recent meeting held on June 9, 2025, the Collin County government discussed critical funding opportunities and preparations for the upcoming November elections. The meeting highlighted the potential for securing federal and state grants, particularly a sub-grant from the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), which could provide approximately $52,000 to support election-related expenses.

County officials noted that the state Secretary of State's office had been awaiting the conclusion of the legislative session to finalize details about the grant. Following a recent webinar, officials are optimistic about the funding, which is expected to assist in enhancing election security and resources. The total estimated cost for the election preparations is projected to be just under $2.4 million.

During the meeting, Mr. Breaux, a key official responsible for election management, expressed confidence in his team's ability to conduct the elections effectively, despite tight deadlines. He indicated that they have already begun reaching out to vendors for necessary tools and resources. Breaux assured the court that, if the motion to adopt the new election system is approved, his team will be ready to meet the challenges ahead.

The court members engaged in a dialogue about the importance of ensuring that all necessary resources are in place for a successful election. They agreed to revisit any outstanding needs during a follow-up meeting scheduled for June 23, where further discussions will take place regarding the election preparations.

This meeting underscores the county's proactive approach to securing funding and ensuring that the upcoming elections are conducted with the highest standards of excellence. As the election date approaches, the focus will remain on finalizing resources and addressing any potential challenges that may arise.
