It’s Election Day, Go Vote!
District K, today’s the day—let’s make our voices heard! 🗳️ It’s Election Day, and your vote matters for our community’s future. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., so grab your ID, check your polling location at VoteTexas.gov, and head out to vote! Bringing your voter registration certificate isn’t required, but it can make things easier if you have it.

Nearly 46% of the Harris County’s registered voters and 55% of Fort Bend County’s registered voters cast a ballot early in person or by mail. That’s more than the turnout in 2016, but not quite the numbers that were reached in 2020. As long as you’re registered to vote, you can vote at any polling location in your county on Election Day. There are 700 locations in Harris County and 83 locations in Fort Bend County.

Don’t Forget Your ID
When voting in person, you’ll need one of these seven accepted photo IDs:

  • Texas Driver License (from DPS)
  • Texas Election ID Certificate (from DPS)
  • Texas Personal ID Card (from DPS)
  • Texas Handgun License (from DPS)
  • U.S. Military ID with photo
  • U.S. Citizenship Certificate with photo (doesn’t expire)
  • U.S. Passport (book or card)

For Expired IDs:

  • Voters aged 18–69: IDs can be up to four years expired.
  • Voters 70+: Any expired ID is accepted.

If you don’t have and can’t get one of these, you can complete a Reasonable Impediment Declaration (RID) at the Vote Center and present another ID like a utility bill, bank statement, government check, or voter registration card.
