Early voting data shows average age of voters in Houston runoff elections is older than previous elections

HOUSTON – Harris County early voting data shows the average age of the in-person early voters trends older than previous Houston runoff elections, according to Harris County Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth.

The data reports that 90,918 people voted early as of Dec. 3 for the Dec. 9 Joint Runoff Election.

Hudspeth said an analysis conducted at the end of last week of the city of Houston voting roster shows that the average age of in-person early voters is about 62 years old.

“That will fluctuate a bit once all ballots are cast for this election,” she said. “Still, the average age of the voters is a little older than in previous Houston Runoff Elections and significantly older than the average age of the registered voter population, which is 47.”
