Election season is upon us and for that reason, the El Paso County Ethics Commission would like to remind all County employees to comply with local and state election rules. For example, there are some Texas Election Code rules that apply to all Texans. This includes a prohibition against any individual electioneering or loitering within 100 feet of an outside door through which a voter may enter a polling place during the voting period. “Voting period” means the period beginning when the polls open for voting and ending when the polls close or the last voter has voted, whichever is later. This prohibition includes posting, using or distributing political literature or signs such as t-shirts, buttons, or engaging in solicitation. Additionally, there are specific rules that County employees should bear in mind this election season. For additional guidance, please review the Elections Guidance adopted by the El Paso County Ethics Commission which can be accessed here.

ETHICS COMMISSION

The stability of democracy depends upon the continuing consent of the governed, which in turn depends upon the trust the electorate holds for its government. The Ethics Commission of the County of El Paso, Texas, in concert with elected county officials, as well as leaders of the various county departments, recognizes the need to maintain the public trust and confidence in the workings of county government and has adopted a Code of Ethics. The Commission invites members of the public to participate in their open meetings.
