Several public officials have been arrested southwest of San Antonio in an alleged vote harvesting scheme.
Among those indicted include a former mayor of Dilley, Texas, a sitting Frio County Commissioner, and the Chief of Staff to a Texas State Representative.
There were a total of nine people indicted.
The Texas Attorney General's office says several suspects have self-surrendered and have been processed.
"Let me be crystal clear: the integrity of our elections is the bedrock of our democratic process," Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a statement. "Any elected official trying to cheat the system will have to answer for it."
