Background and Discussion The Harris County Elections Administrators Office was formed in November of 2020 and took over account 516 at the beginning of the fiscal year. Account 516 was created in 2020 for election costs and was created as an account that did not qualify for rollover. At that time there were many outstanding balances from the previous fiscal year and funds appropriated for FY22 were used to cover those invoices. The total funds needed is $3,335,238.31
