Here is a guide to the July 14 primary runoff election for Katy-area residents in Harris, Fort Bend and Waller counties. It includes a roundup of polling locations and a sample ballot for each county.

The July 14 runoffs had been previously scheduled for late May but were postponed by Gov. Greg Abbott because of health concerns related to the new coronavirus.

The Texas secretary of state issued recommended health care protocols for voters, election officers and poll workers in late May to promote safety during the voting process. Harris County published its own set of tips for safely voting during the coronavirus pandemic.

The last day to register to vote for the primary election runoff was June 15. Those interested in applying for an absentee ballot must file an application by July 2.

To vote, citizens will need a form of ID, such as a Texas driver license or a Texas election identification certificate issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety.
