HOUSTON – You know Election Day is Tuesday, but do you know where to vote?

In most of our local counties, the answer to that question is now pretty easy.

KPRC 2 called several counties and learned that most of them fall into that category.

Harris County, Fort Bend County, Galveston County, Brazoria County and Chambers County will have vote centers on Election Day. This means voters in those counties can go to any vote center in their county.

Montgomery County does not have vote centers. When we called the Montgomery County Elections Administrator’s Office, they confirmed that voters there must vote at their precinct assigned to them. Lubbock County was the first to use vote centers in 2006. However, the Countywide Polling Place Program has only been used in Harris County and our surrounding counties for the last few years.
