The League of Women Voters of Texas recently published the 2020 Texas General County Election Website Review, which was conducted to assess how each county prepared for the November 2020 General Election. Voters look to their counties to find accurate, accessible, and useful voter information on safe and secure county election websites. In addition, the League checked to see if the counties had implemented the new requirements for county election websites mandated by recent changes in Texas election law.

 

Out of 254 county websites, the League found 56 “outstanding” and 22 “very good” county election websites. Find out how each county rated here.

 

The Texas League began reviewing county election websites in 2016. In addition to providing the results of the review to the counties, the League offered resources such as the Center for Civic Design's best practice guide for election websites. This year the League shared its comprehensive resource, 2020 Suggested Best Practices for County Election Websites, which contains the new requirements for Texas counties.

 

Texans can use the League Checklist for County Election Websites to review their own county's website.

 

The League of Women Voters of Texas is currently working with the Center for Civic Design, the Texas Association of Counties and the Secretary of State's office to develop additional programs and resources to enable Texas counties to provide excellent voter information to better serve their communities.
