ISSUES

The County Clerk assists all residents throughout their lives and livelihoods. Whether it’s registering the birth of a new baby, buying a home, closing the estate of a loved one or casting a vote in an election, everyone should be welcome to conduct their business and have the access and information they need to do so in an informed manner. It is the duty of the County Clerk to provide reliable, professional service that reflects the values of our county – equity, fairness, respect, sustainability, operational excellence, and innovation.

 

FAIR & SECURE ELECTIONS

Our democracy is better when more eligible voters have access to the ballot box and voters are confident that their vote is protected. Travis County has been a leader in voter turnout, election integrity and accessibility for decades. Together, we can ensure that the Office of the County Clerk continues to innovate to promote voter participation and best meet the needs of the community, while adapting to legal challenges and leveraging advances in technology. 

  • Expand early voting locations;

  • Promote a community input process for selecting early voting locations;

  • Collaborate with Commissioners Court to secure investments to increase poll worker pay, procure new equipment and locations to meet the needs of our growing community, and update information systems and technologies to provide exceptional information and accessibility to voters.

 

EFFICIENT & ACCESSIBLE COURT ADMINISTRATION

It is the County's duty to ensure that all residents have access to the records they need. The Clerk's office must ensure that all parties have speedy access to the materials needed and they are treated in a professional and respectful manner at all times.

  • Fully implement a court case management system for criminal cases that allows for efficient online access to electronic documents;

  • Enhance integration between county and district courts systems to promote accessibility.

 
 

RELIABLE & ACCURATE COUNTY AND PROPERTY RECORDS
