2020 Election: Everything you need to know to vote in Texas
We have put together a guide with everything you need to know to be able to vote in Texas for the 2020 Election.
We spoke with Nancy Kral who manages voter services with the League of Women Voters. The organization has been busy informing voters of all the changes.
“We are expecting record turnout. I just cannot tell you how happy that makes the League of Women Voters because democracy only works when people participate. The more people that participate, the better representation you will have with your elected officials,” said Kral.
Election judges prepare for Election Day in Harris County
Harris County will have more than 800 polling places to choose from on Election Day and a total of 11,000 people staffing those polling places.
“There have been tremendous voter registration efforts throughout the state. I was just looking at some information about Harris County and we have added well over 200,000 people to our voting rolls in Harris County. To put that in perspective, that is about the same number of voters that are registered in the whole state of Wyoming,” said Kral.
In order to accommodate the anticipated high volume of voter turnout, there are some changes this election year which include early voting starting a week earlier, 10 locations offering drive-thru, and some locations being open for 24 hours.
