Contract AwardElectionsDetected Jun 22, 2026

Bandera ISD’s June 22, 2026 agenda includes an item to consider and possibly approve the 2026 contract for election services between the Bandera County Elections Department and the district. This contract will cover administration of the November 3, 2026 BISD trustee election, including logistics, polling, and compliance services provided by the county. Although the specific contract value and scope are not detailed, the item confirms that Bandera ISD outsources election administration to the county rather than managing it entirely in-house.Vendors providing election technology, communications, or voter outreach tools may see this as a cue that any offerings would need to integrate with or be coordinated through the Bandera County Elections Department and the district for the upcoming trustee election.

There is also an information item on the November 3, 2026 BISD Trustee Election Timeline, reinforcing election planning underway.

The worksheet ties a specific dollar figure to voter registration activity, but it does not name a vendor or product. This keeps election administration spending in place for FY2026-2027 and may indicate continuing need for registration-related services or systems.
