Texas Gov. Greg Abbott extends early voting period for November elections citing COVID-19

Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday extended the early voting period for the November presidential elections in response to COVID-19.

In a news release, Abbott’s office said the early voting period will begin Oct. 13 and end Oct. 30, giving voters nearly one more week than usual to cast their vote before Election Day. He also allowed voters to turn in mail ballots in person on Election Day.

 

“As we respond to COVID-19, the State of Texas is focused on strategies that preserve Texans’ ability to vote in a way that also mitigates the spread of the virus,” Abbott said in a statement. “By extending the early voting period and expanding the period in which mail-in ballots can be hand-delivered, Texans will have greater flexibility to cast their ballots, while at the same time protecting themselves and others from COVID-19.”

Thousands Gather for Peaceful Mansfield March for justice

Before the march, Evans took the microphone at Mansfield High School and prayed for the demonstrators, asking the parents to watch out for the students. “We’re not going to let anybody hijack this movement,” he said. “We’re going to hang out of in the periphery and keep our heads on a swivel.” “Mansfield is a great city,” said Zhivonni Cook, public information officer for the Mansfield police. “We have a great relationship with all the residents and expect a peaceful march. We have had several gatherings already, so peaceful. Our officers went to the demonstration at Holland and Broad and delivered water.” “The thing that happened in Minneapolis was appalling,” Cook said. “(The protesters) just want to get out and have their voices heard. We believe in these peaceful protests that demand reform and bring meaningful change.

Mansfield election date postponed to November 3, 2020 due to COVID-19

The Mansfield City Council voted 6-1 Monday night to postpone the May 2 general election to Nov. 3, unless an order from Texas Governor Greg Abbott provides an earlier date.  Gov. Abbott issued a proclamation March 18 suspending provisions of the Texas Election Code to allow political subdivisions to postpone their 2020 local elections as the state and many communities focus on the COVID-19 public health emergency.

Mayor David Cook told the City Council that Texas municipal officials are in discussions with Gov. Abbott to allow for a July election if circumstances permit. A July election, he said, would allow local voters to focus their attention on their city’s election and not in November during the national Presidential election.

Gov. Greg Abbott allows local officials to postpone May 2 elections due to COVID-19

 

If local officials do choose to move municipal elections, the Secretary of State’s guidelines suggest that current elected officials whose seats were up on the May ballot will continue to hold office until after the postponed November election.

For example, the city of Mansfield is currently set to hold a May 2 special election to elect a new mayor due to Mansfield Mayor David Cook announcing his candidacy to represent District 96 in the Texas House.

City could have four elections in 40 days

 

City could have four elections in 40 days  “If we have multiple (candidates), then we could have a run-off,” Taylor said.  (Including the general election and a possible run-off from those races), we could have four elections in 40 days.” And then there’s the cost of calling a special election, which could ring in at $40,000, and that’s without a run-off.
