Early voting turnout drops sharply ahead of Harris County runoff election
HOUSTON – Despite record voter turnout during the March primary election, early voting numbers in Harris County have dropped significantly ahead of Tuesday’s runoff election.
According to Harris County election data, more than 330,000 ballots were cast during early voting for the March primary.
For the current runoff election, early voting totals have reached just over 145,000 ballots — a roughly 56% decrease.
Still, some voters say showing up to the polls remains an important responsibility.
