HOUSTON – Early voting for the May 2 special elections officially starts Monday, April 20, and runs through April 28.
This round of voting includes the Texas Senate District 4 race, where Democrat Ron Angeletti is facing Republican Brett W. Ligon.
In Harris County, officials say seven voting centers will be open during early voting, including locations in Kingwood, Huffman, Crosby, Highlands, Spring, North Houston, and downtown.
On Election Day, that number expands to 27 polling locations.
Beyond the Senate race, voters will also weigh in on local issues. In Magnolia, for example, the fire department is asking voters to approve a sales tax increase to 8.25 percent to help fund additional staffing.
Harris County Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth is expected to hold a press conference at 10 a.m. Monday, outlining voting details and reminding residents where and when they can cast their ballots.
Voters should also keep in mind that polls will be closed tomorrow in observance of San Jacinto Day.
This early voting period is separate from early voting for the primary runoff election scheduled for May 26.
