Callahan County Commissioners Court convened a special meeting at 9 a.m. on Nov. 17, 2025, to formally canvass the results of the Nov. 4, 2025 constitutional amendment election and accepted the county canvass by voice vote.
County staff summarized the canvass and supporting materials, saying they had provided scanned tapes and a cumulative report to commissioners and that the county’s Canvas report matched those figures. "We did have 3 provisionals. 1 got accepted. The other 2 got rejected. They weren't registered," an unidentified staff member reported, adding that a correction action form sent to one voter was not returned and so that ballot was not counted. The staff member also said the county received one late ballot that was not counted.
The staff presentation noted that Callahan County contracted with the City of Clyde, Bayard Independent School District and the City of Bayard for election administration tasks related to this election.
Commissioner Farmer moved to accept the canvass; Commissioner Wynnum seconded. The court approved the canvass by voice vote after the presiding speaker called for 'All in favor, say aye' and recorded 'None opposed.' No roll-call vote or individual tallies were read into the record.
After accepting the canvass, Commissioner Wynnum moved to adjourn; Commissioner McKown seconded. The court approved the motion by voice vote and the presiding speaker adjourned the meeting at 9:02 a.m.
The record in this meeting contains the staff report on scanned tapes, the cumulative Canvas report, and the brief voice votes accepting the canvass and adjourning the meeting. No further actions or follow-up tasks were announced during the session.
