A group created by Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones to find ways to increase voter turnout has delivered a list of recommendations to improve the wider idea of what it calls "civic participation" in San Antonio.
The nine recommendations from the Mayor's Commission on Voting range from transitioning a current city department into an "Office of Civic Participation" to increasing the number of polling locations during local elections to establishing a fund that could support civic engagement organizations.
At least some of the recommendations will likely require city council action, and each has a different timeline and potential cost to implement.
