A search is underway for a new head of the Bexar County Elections Department. Elections administrator Jacque Callanen announced her resignation last June after a meeting of the Bexar County Election Commission. During the meeting, Callanen faced criticism from members of the public who said she lacked transparency. She has held the position for 19 years. Her resignation is effective as of January. The county election commission has hired a recruiting firm to conduct a nationwide search, which is expected to be done within 90 days.
