Hand Marked Ballots
On June 9, the Collin County Commissioners Court voted to implement Hand-Marked Ballots (HMB) for the November 2025 election and all future elections. This decision was made in response to Executive Order 14248 issued by President Trump, as well as public feedback from individuals expressing concerns about the integrity of our current voting systems. Under the new process, voters will receive a printed ballot on demand, which they will mark by hand. The completed ballots will then be scanned and tabulated using the same machines currently in use. The Election Administrator is expected to present an implementation plan at the next Collin County Commissioners Court meeting on Monday, June 23, at 1:30 at the Jack Hatchell Administration Building in McKinney.
