Deputy City Secretary
The City of Huntsville has just updated its Elections web page with scans of the City’s historic Election Register.
“Since the 1980s, the Texas Election Code has required that each canvassing authority maintain an election register as
part of its permanent records,” City Secretary Lee Woodward said. “These minutes include tabulated information on
election results and may have additional historical information that is not necessarily in the regular meeting minutes,
making them both more interesting and useful in additional ways.”
While the City permanent minute books extend back to the 1800s, the Election Register has been maintained separately,
containing information from January 1988 to the present.
Links by decade have been added to the City Secretary Elections page on the City web site.
To view the Election Register, visit http://huntsvilletx.gov/department/division.php?structureid=33.
Viewers may also navigate from the home page at www.huntsvilletx.gov, scroll over the “City Government” tab, then
scroll over “City Secretary,” select Elections and open the desired register on the resulting page.
“We seek to increase the amount of material saved electronically, both in case of a disaster and also to increase the
availability and accessibility of information on our City’s Web site,” Woodward added.
For more information, contact the City Secretary’s office at 936-291-5403 or citysecretary@huntsvilletx.gov.
