ROBSTOWN (Kiii News) — Robstown City Council voted Friday to conduct their own elections this year citing issues at polling locations since 2015 when they began to contract with the Nueces County Clerk.
According to the City of Robstown, they began working with Nueces County in 2015 and since then there were several issues such as citizens being denied the right to vote. Council met on Friday to make changes to the city's polling locations that they say will further comply with the Texas Election Code.
