For the remaining measures, the county totals were 10,690 to 6,114 on Proposition 5; 15,459 to 1,868 on Proposition 6; 15,633 to 1,783 on Proposition 7; and 15,789 to 1,641 on Proposition 8. These figures are Comal County’s recorded returns.
The turnout percentage measures participation in the election as a whole. The proposition totals differ because the minutes separately record the votes cast on each measure; the turnout number should not be read as the vote total for any single proposition.
From scheduled canvass to recorded action
The special-meeting notice scheduled a single item: canvassing the Nov. 2, 2021 constitutional-amendment election at 10 a.m. Nov. 12.
The minutes identify Sherman Krause, Donna Eccleston, Scott Haag and Kevin Webb as present, with Jen Crownover absent. They record that Krause presented the election numbers, Webb made the motion, Eccleston seconded it and every member voting supported the action.
The meeting began at 10 a.m. in the Commissioners Courtroom at 100 Main Plaza in New Braunfels and recessed at 10:03 a.m. The recorded action was limited to canvassing the county’s returns from the Nov. 2 election.
The minutes bear a Nov. 29, 2021 attestation that they accurately account for the authorized Nov. 12 proceedings.
How to inspect the county record
Readers can use the county agenda to verify the meeting’s scheduled scope, then open the final minutes to inspect every proposition tally, the turnout figures, the motion and the recorded action. Together, those two documents show the movement from a scheduled canvass to the official meeting outcome.
A broader turnout comparison would require comparable Comal County election records, while a geographic analysis would require the precinct-level returns. Those records would allow a follow-up to test whether 2021 participation or support patterns differed across elections and parts of the county.
