HOUSTON, Texas — October 19, 2026 — Early voting for the November 3 general and special elections began Monday across Harris County, giving eligible voters an opportunity to cast their ballots before Election Day.
According to the Harris County Clerk’s Elections Department, early voting runs through October 30. Most weekday voting hours are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., while Sunday, October 25, voting is scheduled from noon to 7 p.m. Voters should check the official election website for their nearest polling location and any updates.
Several important local races and ballot questions are on the November ballot. Voters will help decide county leadership, including the Harris County judge and county commissioner positions. Local election issues also include public safety policies and the future of automated license-plate reader cameras in League City.
These decisions matter because local officials influence public services, law enforcement priorities, county spending and other issues that affect residents’ daily lives.
Before heading to the polls, voters should confirm their registration, review their sample ballot and check the identification requirements. Polling locations and voting procedures should be verified through official county election resources rather than social media posts.
What voters should do: Visit HarrisVotes.com to review election information, check registration, find voting locations and learn about accepted identification.
For eligible Pakistani-American voters, the election is an opportunity to participate in local decision-making. However, eligibility requirements apply to all voters, and only U.S. citizens who meet the applicable voting requirements may cast ballots in these elections.
With Election Day approaching, residents are encouraged to make a voting plan and consult official sources before casting their ballots.
