The Election Commission memo and Resolution 2026-14 outline staffing, equipment, and compensation for nine‑day early voting, AVCB processing, and the August 4, 2026 primary, including a joint agreement with Saugatuck City and Douglas. Inspectors and chairpersons will be paid $22–$25 per hour, with multiple electronic devices and a VAT required. While much of the plan is operational, election services, training, and equipment vendors can note this as a sign of active multi‑jurisdictional early voting and future technology or logistics needs.
Early voting is hosted in Douglas under a contract established March 30, 2026; memo notes specific staffing levels and use of multiple devices.

The board preview includes a Burnet County Election Services Contract and Joint Election Agreement for the August 17, 2026 meeting. The item is only scheduled in this document, so no award is recorded yet. If approved, it would lock in election administration support and joint-election coordination for the district.
At its October 27, 2025 meeting, the Election Commission placed the annexed Pine Canyon parcel into Election District 4 and moved several other annexed right-of-way parcels into Districts 4 and 5. Staff said Pine Canyon is expected to build out to about 1,800 homes and 3,600 voters, with construction starting in late 2027 at roughly 200 homes per year. The lead matters because future growth and the early 2027 redistricting review will drive map work, voter assignment, and related election administration.
The council approved a contract with the Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections for support services for the 2026 municipal general election. This is an election operations contract, not a broader policy item. It signals coordinated election support and potential logistics, staffing, and technology needs around the 2026 election cycle.
