Brazoria County's May 9 election—and all those in the future—will utilize Vote Centers, allowing residents to vote at any polling location in the county. Also known as the Countywide Polling Place Program, Vote Centers will aid those who may be a significant distance from their registration address because of work, officials said. The Texas Secretary of State's office grants participation in the program based on four guidelines that Brazoria County successfully completed. Along with approval by Commissioners Court, selected counties must have electronic voting machines—which Brazoria County has used since 2006—and software that can verify a resident has not already voted. Public hearings are also required for inclusion in the program, and Brazoria County held six in different areas of the county. The 29 polling locations used for elections other than November general elections since 2007 will be used for Vote Centers. Those locations, however, do not include Jones Creek, West Columbia and Columbia Lakes, which canceled May elections this year.
