Bexar County election officials clear massive voter registration backlog, just in time for early voting
BEXAR COUNTY, Texas — Back in September, it was made known that Bexar County election officials were scrambling to process roughly tens of thousands of voter registration applications. At fault, according to the county: a state computer system that wasn't yet fully operational.
The backlog left tens of thousands of applications in limbo since July, when county officials said it was forced to pause processing as Bexar County's longtime voter registration vendor abruptly shut down and a pivotal Nov. 4 election loomed.
At the time, Alicia Pierce, assistant secretary of state for communications, acknowledged the challenges affecting voters statewide.
"This is an unprecedented situation. This vendor abruptly shut off their services, disrupting the voter registration functions of 23 Texas counties," Pierce told KENS 5 in September. "Of those, 14 have requested to join the TEAM system, and we are working as diligently as possible to onboard those counties ahead of the November election. At the same time, we are trying to support our 230 counties who are in the process of migrating to the Team 2.0 system."
