Two results from the May 7 election have the possibility of changing by the end of the week.
Fort Stockton ISD Bond Proposition A, which currently has 359 votes against and 356 votes for, could change due to 29 mail ballots that were not received by May 7 and 10 mail ballots that are pending because of a corrective action that is required.
The winner of the Fort Stockton ISD School Board Ward 2 race could also change pending on additional ballots received by the end of the week. Freddie Martinez currently has a one vote lead (54-53) over Felix Rodriguez and a nine-vote lead over Valerie Bueno.
Pecos County Deputy Clerk Sophia Franco, who is the county’s election clerk, revealed on May 10 that she had received two additional ballots that were pending because of a corrective action.
For the mail ballots, Franco said the postmark date needed to be May 7 or sooner to be accepted. The ballots then go to Ballot Board on Friday, May 13.
The eight pending corrective action forms have until Friday, May 13 at 5 p.m. to come to the clerk’s office and make good on that part of their ballot. The corrective action forms were sent to the voter if they did not complete their carrier envelope correctly. The action affords the voter more time to correct and make their vote count.
