It’s time to make your voice heard again. Early voting in Texas begins Monday, February 14 and ends Friday, February 25 for the 2022 primary election, which is Tuesday, March 1.
In support of an informed vote, the editorial board of the Houston Chronicle interviewed hundreds of candidates in more than 50 races to make the recommendations in the Harris County races for the Democratic and Republican primaries. Texas law does not allow cell phones in the voting booth, so take this summary page with you for each primary. Note: The only local magistracies covered are the criminal district benches.
