In the first two weeks of early voting for the Nov. 3 general election, Harris County residents have cast 992,890 ballots in person and an additional 156,157 ballots via mail, according to unofficial totals released by the Harris County Clerk's Office.


Voter turnout for the 2016 general election exceeded 1.3 million by the end of Election Day. With nearly 1.15 million votes cast thus far and four days remaining in the early voting period, the county is on track to break that record before Election Day, Nov. 3. All 122 early voting sites throughout Harris County will be open from 7 a.m.-10 p.m. Oct. 27-29, giving voters an additional three hours to head to the polls. On Oct. 29, eight of those polling locations will be open for 24 hours starting at 7 a.m. On Oct. 30, the last day of early voting, polls will be open from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. About 953,600 county residents voted early in November 2016, and another 350,900 people voted on Election Day. This year, Harris County residents have six additional days of early voting—through Oct. 30—and additional options such as drive-thru voting.
