Hardin County court formally canvasses May 7 constitutional amendment election results

Hardin County Clerk Connie Becton presented the official canvass of the May 7, 2022 Constitutional Amendment Election to the Commissioners Court during a special meeting on May 17, 2022. The canvass was conducted in accordance with § 67.007 of the Texas Election Code.

Commissioner Chris Kirkendall moved to approve the canvass as presented; Commissioner Alvin Roberts seconded the motion. Judge Wayne McDaniel and Commissioners Kirkendall, L.W. "Nubbin" Cooper Jr., Alvin Roberts and Amanda Young voted in favor; the court recorded the motion as "approved as presented."

The canvass satisfies the court's statutory duty to formally record and accept election results for county purposes under the cited provision of the Texas Election Code. The minutes do not record any objections or challenges to the returns during the session. County Clerk Connie Becton is the official who presented the results to the court.

The court moved next to a separate budget item; the minutes show no additional action related to the canvass at the May 17 meeting.
