The Hays County Commissioners Court will vote on a recommendation to create two new election precincts in their regular meeting Tuesday.
The commissioners court is required to review county election precinct boundaries to keep them in compliance, according to the Texas Election Code.
The elections administration office has recommended changes to precinct boundaries as some precincts exceed or approach the maximum number of registered voters per precinct, which is 5,000.
Between Driftwood and Wimberley, Precinct 333 has 4,111 registered voters and Precinct 449 has 4,755; voters in suspense status are not included. The recommendation is to split those precincts up and create Precincts 320 and 450.
