Early voting for the May 28 primary runoff went on as planned on Monday, despite damage reported to some of the Harris County election facilities. Some locations, however, were not open for voters.
On Sunday night, Harris County Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth said in a news release that 44 voting centers will be open from May 20 through May 24 from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m.

“Our hearts are with everyone affected by the storm,” said Harris County Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth. “Although our office was also impacted, we have worked tirelessly around the clock to ensure that the May 28 Primary Runoff Elections proceed as planned.”
On Friday, the Harris County clerk's office said that their election technology center, where a lot of election equipment is held, was damaged in Thursday's storms. The building that election worker trainings are held was also damaged and according to Hudspeth, is uninhabitable.
