The Fort Bend County Commissioners Court approved extending early voting location hours for Thursday and Friday to accommodate high voter turnout this week. All Fort Bend County early voting locations will be open 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Oct. 27-28. The originally scheduled hours were 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Precinct 3 Commissioner Andy Meyers said there were locations with up to an hour wait on Monday, and voters contacted him Tuesday morning to find out why early voting locations closed at 5 p.m. He estimated a 50 percent increase in voter turnout compared to previous years. Early voting locations will be open 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday as originally scheduled.
