What’s New for This Election
The m ission of the Harris County Clerk Elections Division is to conduct free and fair elections, uniform ly execute elections according to statutes, and provide accurate and tim ely election results. We firm ly believe it is our duty to treat every voter w ith respect and dignity. We create polling locations that provide a “ safe haven” for voters so they m ay exercise their right to vote in a non- intim idating, supportive environm ent.
We believe in m aking all polling places fully accessible and seek com m unity input to assure that accessibility. Most im portantly, w e believe that all voters have the right to cast their ballot independently and in secret. To m eet this m ission, w e pledge our continuing efforts and resources.
