Collin County elections administrator retires after 44 years – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth

Collin County Elections Administrator Bruce Sherbert says he is ready to retire after 44 years of election service.

Sherbert's long election career began in 1980 as a supervisor of voter registration. He then became elections administrator for Dallas County in 1987. Before moving to Collin County in 2015, he served in the same role in Ellis County since 2011.

Our partners at The Dallas Morning News Report that Sherbert notified District Judge Chris Hill of his intention to retire last month. He told the newspaper that the past four years have been “probably the most stressful part” of his career due to open records requests, disinformation and misinformation and general distrust of the outcome of the 2020 election.

Still, Sherbert said the past nine years in Collin County have been an incredible honor and privilege.

“Over the past nine years, I have been fortunate to work with a team of outstanding professionals and interact with countless concerned citizens,” said Sherbert.

In addition to his work at the provincial level, Sherbert has also contributed as a course developer and instructor for the National Association of Election Officials.

“I am confident in the strength of the Elections Department and the team here that will continue to serve our residents at the highest level,” Sherbert said. “The foundation we have built will continue our mission to ensure election integrity and protect the right to vote for all eligible citizens.”

Sherbert's pension takes effect on December 31.
