The Collin County Commissioner’s Court convened on August 25, 2025, to address several key agenda items, primarily focusing on enhancements to the voting process and the subsequent approval of a health care foundation meeting.

The meeting began with a discussion led by the elections administrator regarding the implementation of ballot-on-demand (BOD) technology. The administrator expressed gratitude to the court for recognizing the importance of this decision and confirmed that the current voting equipment could accommodate the proposed changes without additional costs. This upgrade will allow for the capture of voters' ink signatures on labels, enhancing the verification process.

The court discussed the transition to a new system where voters will sign a printed label instead of a tablet, which will be affixed to the ballot. This change aims to improve the accuracy of ballot distribution by providing a double-check mechanism for election workers. The administrator clarified that the process would maintain the existing single signature requirement while adding a second label to verify precinct and ballot style.

Following this discussion, the court moved to approve the amendments related to the voting process. The motion was seconded and unanimously approved, with all members voting in favor.

After concluding the voting-related discussions, the court adjourned and transitioned to the Collin County Health Care Foundation meeting. The foundation quickly moved through its consent agenda, which was also approved unanimously.

Overall, the meeting highlighted significant advancements in the voting process in Collin County, ensuring greater accuracy and security for upcoming elections, while also efficiently managing the agenda of the health care foundation.
