Early voting for the Harris County primary runoff elections is continuing as scheduled this week, but not all locations will be open.
In this uniform election, voters will choose three Harris County Appraisal District board members and a replacement for John Whimire's Senate seat.
"Our hearts are with everyone affected by the storm. Although our office was also impacted, we have worked tirelessly around the clock to ensure that the May 28 primary runoff elections proceed as planned. Our office is committed to conducting well-organized, transparent, and fair elections. Under the current circumstances, the safety of voters and election workers remains our top priority," Hudspeth said.
All Democratic voters in Harris County will have at least three countywide contests on their ballot, including the Justice, 14th Court of Appeals District, Place 3; the 486th Judicial District judge; and the county tax assessor-collector. For voters registered within applicable districts, they may also vote in contests for state senator, District 15, which covers portions of communities in Atascocita, Bellaire, Houston, Humble, Southside Place and West University Place; state representative, District 139, which covers portions of Spring, Cy-Fair and Houston; and state representative, District 146, which covers parts of southwest Houston.
Sample ballots will also include a contest for Precinct 5 constable, which covers most of west Harris County, from Loop 610 to the county line and from Hwy. 290 to the county line.FEMA help available for storm, flooding victims in some Texas counties
