Fort Bend County Judge KP George on Oct. 28 announced a free fare day for Election Day.

The Commissioners Court waived fares for public transportation for Nov. 3 to encourage residents to go out and vote.

"Fort Bend County is so proud to announce that Fort Bend Public Transportation fares will be waved for Election Day," George said in a press release. "Every vote counts in our democracy, and we are happy to do our part in ensuring all voters have adequate transportation to the polls."

Residents are encouraged to make reservations at least 24 hours in advance.

The county sent out a reminder for voters to bring a valid photo ID.
