    Texas law requires eligible voters to register by the 30th day before Election Day.

    Voter registration in Texas is county-based, so we encourage you to contact your county voter registrar for specific questions regarding the status of your voter registration.

    Texans who have recently changed their name or moved MUST update their voter registration.

  • Find your polling location in Harris County

    Harris County participates in the Countywide Polling Place Program. The program allows Harris County voters to cast a ballot at any location in the county during Early Voting and on Election Day.

This means that the two political parties will jointly hold the election in common precincts, and voters from both parties will be able to cast ballots using the same voting equipment on Election Day.
