As the mayor of the largest city in Texas, I know how many challenges working folks deal with trying to fit voting into their hectic lives. That’s why I’m so proud of the work our County Clerk’s office has done to make voting more accessible this year -- particularly in the pandemic.
From drive-thru voting to expanded polling locations and longer hours, of all the creative solutions we’ve been offered here in Harris County, the most important may end up being 24-hour voting.
This bold experiment in election accessibility will create opportunities for people who work swing shifts and nights, or have obligations that keep them from getting to the polls during a regular work day.
