After a possible voting machine mistake, the Ellis County Commission will vote on whether to allow a recount from the Nov. 4 election. The discussion is on the agenda at Monday’s meeting, scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. at the courthouse.

County Administrator Greg Sund said in his memo to the commission it’s believed the vote-counting machine was not zeroed out between early voting and the Nov. 4 election. It will take a recount to verify the correct number of votes.

If approved, the county also will need to schedule a special meeting to canvass election results.

The commission will also discuss two proposed updates to the 718 Main Administrative Building.

The first is a proposal for network cabling for $63,345. The second project is access control to the building. The low bid submitted was $13,780.

Sund will also present the commission with a notice of award document for the courthouse and Law Enforcement Center.

The document gives MW Builders the authority to begin preparations to start the project once the building is vacated.
