Harris County Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth announced May 31 that early voting for the June 15 Uniform Runoff Election began on Monday, June 3, and runs through Tuesday, June 11. During early voting, 26 vote centers will open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Tuesday, except Sunday noon to 7 p.m. On Election Day, Saturday, June 15, vote centers will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The location nearest the greater Katy area is the Steve Radack Community Center – Conference Room,18650 Clay Road, Houston, TX 77084. In two of the three Harris Central Appraisal District (HCAD) Board of Directors contests on the May 4 Uniform Election ballot, no candidate received the required fifty percent plus one vote to win. As a result, the June 15 Uniform Runoff Election will feature the top two candidates from the May 4 Uniform Election for HCAD Board of Directors, Place 2 and Place 3. “The Harris Central Appraisal District is the largest appraisal district in Texas and one of the largest appraisal districts in the United States,” said Clerk Hudspeth, the county’s chief election official. “If you own property in Harris County, this election will impact you.” Although the HCAD Board of Directors is not directly responsible for assessing property values, the newly elected members will have significant administrative responsibilities. Their role includes hiring the chief appraiser, appointing members to the appraisal review board, setting the district’s budget, and communicating with external stakeholders. The winner of each contest will assume office on July 1, 2024, and serve until December 31, 2026. “Every election is important, and I hope Harris County voters keep up the vote during the June 15 Runoff Election,” added Clerk Hudspeth. “Even if you did not vote in the May 4 Uniform Election, you still have an opportunity to ensure your voice is represented.” Additional election information is available on www.HarrisVotes.com.
