Harris County considering changing 18 election precinct boundaries for 2026

Harris County commissioners will vote on these adjustments May 8. Voters from the various precincts can attend the public hearing May 8 and submit comments regarding the proposed changes.

County commissioners are required to review election precincts every year that ends in an odd number, according to the Secretary of State’s election website.
