Last Call in Harris County: Early Voting Ends at 7 P.M. Friday, at Any Vote Center in the County - Then No Voting Until Tuesday
The clerk's official schedule is simple: 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. today, at any Harris County vote center. Saturday, Sunday and Monday there is no voting anywhere in Texas.
HOUSTON - Harris County voters who have not cast a ballot yet have until 7 p.m. Friday to vote early, according to the Harris County Clerk's official election information page, which lists early voting on October 30 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. During early voting, a registered Harris County voter may cast a ballot at any vote center in the county - not just the one nearest home - FOX 26 Houston's county guide notes, and the county posts its daily turnout numbers after the polls close.
After tonight, the calendar goes quiet. There is no voting on Saturday, Sunday or Monday in Texas; the next and final chance is Election Day itself, Tuesday, November 3, when Harris County polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., per the clerk's page. Voters who wait for Tuesday trade the any-center flexibility of early voting for the Election Day rules, so the Friday evening hours are the last low-friction window of this election.
The stakes on the ballot are the ones this station has covered all month: the U.S. Senate race between Ken Paxton and James Talarico, the governor's race, and the county and local contests underneath them. The clerk's office maintains the official vote-center map and wait-time information at HarrisVotes.com. If you are voting today, the desk's advice is the clerk's schedule itself: any center, before 7 p.m.
