Early Voting

In the mid-1990s, the State of Texas adopted a process entitled Early Voting in which all registered voters are eligible to visit any one of a series of locations within your county of residence two weeks prior to an election and cast a ballot. The advent and success of Early Voting in Texas has actually led other states to adopt this method of convenience voting.

Harris County conducts early voting 14 -17 days prior to Election Day. Early voting allows any registered voter to vote at any one of 37 locations throughout Harris County. More and more of our voters are choosing to vote during this two-week period because they find the schedule much more accommodating than voting on a single day. Simply click the following link for the Early Voting Map to locate the early voting location nearest you or you may download a complete early voting schedule including dates and hours for early voting as well as a comprehensive listing of early voting locations.

PLEASE NOTE: The Early Voting Period during a Special Election or Run-Off election is shorter than during a General Election.
