A total of 451,203 ballots were cast during the November 7 election. Official numbers will be available after the canvass is complete on November 17. “Overall, I believe, despite the hiccups experienced on Election Day, this was a very successful election due to the hard work of staff, poll workers, Harris County departments, and the support of the Texas Secretary of State.” said Harris County Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth. “Most election judges promptly returned the equipment and ballots after closing their vote center. However, there are always a handful who make our job difficult because they do not follow protocol.” The last drop-offs occurred between 2 and 3 a.m. at election headquarters at NRG Arena—except for one polling location in Tomball. “The presiding judge from a vote center at a school in Tomball was negligent. This person did not return the equipment or answer our calls,” said Clerk Hudspeth. “We had to wait until the school opened this morning to send a constable there to retrieve the missing equipment.” Election judges are responsible for closing and returning all materials needed to conduct the Election Night tally, and the Elections Department relies on them to follow procedures. “It is incumbent upon all stakeholders, from election officials, election workers, support staff, and voters, to do their part to ensure a successful election,” added Clerk Hudspeth. The runoff election is scheduled for Saturday, December 9, 2023. For news and updates, follow us on social media at @HarrisVotes and @HarrisCoTxClerk.
