There are six Texas counties with a population over 100,000 that are participating in the program.
“The voters of Harris County have made it clear that a Countywide Polling Place Program would have a positive impact on elections and I am confident that the transition to a Countywide Polling Place Program will be successful,” Trautman said.
On election day, voters will be able to vote anywhere in the county, starting with the May 4 joint election.
"All elections, including general, special, joint, primaries and runoffs will be recommended to use the Countywide Polling Place Program," officials said.
