THE ATTORNET GENERAL OF TEXAS

PHILIE DANIEL. AUSTIN, TEXAS

Honorable E. Y. Cunningham
County Anditor
Mavarro County
Corsicana, Texas

Dear Mr. Cunningham:

Opinion No. 0-6212 Re: Will it be necessary for Navarro County to furnish election blanks to hold the special election for State Senator?

Your letter of September 6, 1944, has been received, and reads: "Will it be necessary for Mavarro County to furnish special election blanks to hold the election for Senator which has been ordered by Governor Stevenson to take Senator Clay Cotton's place, this election to be hold on the same date as the general election? "Please advise what procedure we must take to hold this election."

It is our considered opinion that it is the duty and responsibility of Mavarro County to furnish the election supplies necessary to hold the special election for State Senator, which has been called by the Governor.

We enclose copies of our Opinion No. 0-610, dated April 18, 1939, and our Opinion No. 0-4872, approved September 29, 1942, relating to this subject, which will give you our reasons for the above answer.

Very truly yours ATTORNET GENERAL OF TEXAS APPROVED SEP. 83, 1944 By GROVER SELLERS Attorney General of Texas
