– Harris County Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth said that more than 54,400 in-person ballots have been cast during the first week of early voting for the Nov. 7 Joint General & Special Elections.
According to a news release from her office, more people are choosing to vote early compared to the most similar election in 2015, when only 36,300 voted in person during the same time. “We are looking at an increase of about 50%. We have been working hard to ensure voting centers are up and running on time, and voters are getting in and out easily,” said Clerk Hudspeth. “Voters are showing interest in this election and are eager to make their choices ahead of Nov. 7.”
There are 42 political entities on the Nov. 7 ballot. However, voters will only see the contests that are connected to the address where they are registered to vote. Some may see a minimum of 15, while others a maximum of about 35 contests on their ballots. Only voters who live within the City of Houston’s legal boundaries are eligible to vote in the Houston mayoral, controller, and city council races.
