What happens if there are 2 primaries this year?

How will counties make up the cost?

There is growing concern that a split primary will cost Hidalgo County so much money that commissioners might have to reduce the number of polling locations in order to stay within budget.

One of those with such concerns is Hidalgo County Elections Administrator Yvonne Ramon, who is hoping to testify about the impact of this year’s elections fiasco at a status conference hearing being held by a federal court in San Antonio on Friday.
