Jacque Callanen, who has overseen Bexar County elections since 2005, will retire in January. County officials have yet to start the search for her replacement.
Jacque Callanen , who has run elections in Bexar County for two decades, has been personally threatened for doing her job and has been dragged into court by voting-rights groups. But neither of those facts appears to be the main motivator behind her decision to step down as elections administrator.
Michael Scarpello announced his retirement in October 2023 as Dallas County elections administrator to spend time with family after just three years on the job. Within weeks of his announcement, Dallas’ election commission hired Garcia to replace him. As Scarpello prepared to leave office that December, he faced complaints from county commissioners that the county’s November election was riddled with problems — something Scarpello emphatically denied.
