Summary

The court held that the county clerk had authority to designate an early-voting location outside the county seat and that the Board had to perform its own statutory responsibilities for voting at that location. It modified the mandamus order to prevent the Board from assuming duties assigned to the clerk. The court also held that the First Baptist Church remained an early-voting site because the Board had not voted to change the site established for the preceding general election.
