    Encourage people to try to vote early everywhere. Texas has early in person voting from Oct 21 – Nov 1

    If you vote early, you’ll have time to come back again in case there’s some last minute changes to the polling places open or some other problem. Plus you also don’t then have to worry about something like being sick on election day

      you can vote at any polling place within your county if you vote early

      Early Voting Locations

      Voting during the early voting period couldn’t be easier and more convenient! Registered and eligible voters may vote at ANY early voting location located in their county of residence. Whether you are at home, work or out running errands, you will be able to find a polling place near you. Early voting locations will be populated in our search site “My Voter Portal” two days prior to the first day of early voting. Here, you can enter your Name, County, Date of Birth and ZIP code to look up your registration information and find your nearest polling location. You may want to contact the Early Voting Clerk for State and County Elections in your county for early voting locations. Also, many newspapers publish early voting polling locations.

      Note: Polling place hours vary at each early voting location.

        My entire county only has one early voting location. I miss the convenience of voting in a random place like a nearby store when I lived in a more populated area instead of having to drive halfway across the county.

          Could be worse, atleast Texas doesnt have a san Bernardino sized county. Biggest county in the US and thats after it was shrunk down, pretty sure Riverside and Kern used to be part of it.
