Harris County Clerk Stan Stanart announced today that nine Early Voting locations will open starting Nov. 29 where eligible voters may cast a ballot during the early voting period for theDecember 9, 2017 Joint Runoff Election. The Early Voting Period for the Runoff Election runs from Nov. 29 to Dec. 2 and resumes Dec. 4 to Dec. 5.
“To find out if you reside in one of the three districts where an election is taking place and view your individual sample ballot, you may visit www.HarrisVotes.com,” advised Stanart, Harris County Clerk and Chief Election Official. “In this instance, the districts in play do not overlap. So all eligible voters will see only one contest on their ballot.”
County Clerk Stanart encourages voters to review the early voting schedule before heading to the poll to confirm the address of the early voting location. In the conduct of non-countywide elections, only available early voting sites within or near each district are utilized in a Runoff Election.
“To be eligible to vote in a particular contest on the Runoff Election ballot, you must be registered to vote in the district which is up for election,” emphasized Stanart. “Qualified voters of one of these districts, may vote in the Runoff, even if they did not vote in the November Election.”
An estimated 90,000 registered voters meet the requirement to vote in the Houston Community College Trustee District IX race, 78,000 in the Houston ISD Trustee District I race and 55,000 in Houston ISD Trustee District III race. The Joint Runoff Election is being held because no candidate received over fifty-percent of the votes on November 7 in these three districts.
Voters may find the complete Early Voting Schedule, view a personal sample ballot, or review the list of acceptable forms of identification to vote at the poll at www.HarrisVotes.com. Voters may also call 713.755.6965 for election information.

As noted before, only some of us have cause to vote. If you’re not in HCC 9 or HISD I or III, all of which are highlighted in the embedded map, you’re off the hook. For the lucky few who do get to vote, note that early voting is only six days (no voting on Sunday), so make your plan to get out there.
