As many as 22% of mail-in ballots were rejected in Bexar County. Before the new election law took effect, the rejection rate was 2-3%, Bexar County Elections Administrator Jacquelyn Callanen has said.
County Commissioner Justin Rodriguez acknowledged the county would have to be cautious in how it develops a plan to reduce rejected mail-in ballots in future elections.Bexar County Commissioners on Tuesday directed local officials to come up with a plan to reduce the number of rejected mail-in ballots in upcoming elections after the county — and Texas — saw record high rejection rates in the March primary..
The county will have to walk a fine legal line in any awareness campaign, as public officials are now not allowed to promote voting by mail. The Bexar County Elections and District Attorney’s offices will make recommendations ahead of the November election, he said. That may involve hiring more election staff, a coordinated awareness campaign or other mechanisms that may require funding.
