With November approaching, Harris County has yet to pick a new election administrator
With outgoing Harris County Elections Administrator Isabel Longoria's resignation going into effect Friday, Beth Stevens, chief director of voting for the county, will become the interim administrator until the new hire begins, which Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo said is likely to be Aug. 1.
While some Harris County voters have experience using the new machines from this year's primary election, the majority of voters in November will be using the machines for the first time, Cross said. "With an organization such as Harris County I would imagine there are plenty of individuals in place that are moving the things that need to be moved forward at this point in the election,” Garza said. “You should start selecting your polling locations and your early voting sites, determining the hours and then preparing to put that into operation in November."Elections administrators in Texas are preparing for an influx of new poll watchers, Garza said.
