Updated Oct. 23, 2026: Harris County reported nearly 328,000 early voters through the first three days, according to unofficial figures from the Harris County Clerk’s Office reported by KPRC. The total follows a record-setting start: ABC13 reported 99,911 in-person votes on day two, a county midterm record for that day dating to 1998. The Associated Press separately found Texas early voting statewide running 74% ahead of the same point in 2022. Turnout counts measure participation, not voter preference or the eventual result. Early voting runs through Oct. 30; county voting hours and locations can change, so check Harris County’s official election information.
