Consolidated Election Precinct – County Election

In a special election for which use of county election precincts is required, the commissioners court may consolidate, on the recommendation of the county election board, two or more county election precincts into a single precinct if the polling place is located so it will adequately serve the voters of the consolidated precinct; at least one consolidated precinct must be situated wholly within each commissioners precinct. With a consolidated precinct, essentially the county election precincts become a single larger precinct; the precinct results are reported by the consolidated precinct rather than for each individual precinct, and only one set of paperwork is kept for the entire consolidated precinct.
