Harris County clerk plans to open a record 122 early voting centers
HOUSTON — So far in 2020, Harris County has already sent out more than double the total number of mail ballots from 2016.
About 1,500 voters have brought their completed ballot to NRG Park. However, if you’re voting early in person instead, expect more options -- and longer hours.
“Voters will be able to come in unimpeded to cast their ballot,” Harris County Clerk Chris Hollins said.
In the middle of a pandemic with a virus that makes close contact dangerous, polling sites are getting bigger to space voters farther apart.
“We’re going to make this the most accessible election in the history of the State of Texas,” Hollins said.
Hollins plans to open a record 122 early voting centers. There were 46 during the last presidential election – a record back then.
2020’s list includes mega-sites like NRG Arena, Toyota Center, and Rice Stadium.
