Harris County was in the only in Texas that failed to report complete election results...
A Harris County election staffer runs a report on a ballot scanning machine after it came in to the Harris County Election Technology Center Wednesday, March 2, 2022 in Houston.Harris County was the only one in Texas that failed to report complete election results from Tuesday’s primary election within 24 hours, as required by the Election Code, the secretary of state’s office said.
Chief Director of Voting Beth Stevens said the county has no obligation to provide results to voters on election night. Moreover, going forward, she said, the county regularly may need up to a day or more to count votes. Stevens said the main driver of the slow vote counting is a new counting procedure that takes more time than the one used with the old voting machines.
