What Fort Bend County residents can expect at early voting sites after the first two days.
The line to voting at Fort Bend County's annex in Missouri City stretched inside and down the hallway.Voters flocked to Fort Bend County polling locations between 10:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. on Monday and Tuesday to cast their ballots in early voting. The county saw an average of 700 voters showing up per hour until 3 p.m., then had a sudden rush at 5 p.m. before closing.
On Tuesday at 2 p.m., this decrease continued as the county had 500 fewer voters turn out than at that same time on Monday. “This is fairly standard, your second day is usually slower than your first,” John Oldham, the elections administrator of Fort Bend County said. “We won’t know yet if that indicates less interest in voting or if somebody’s encouraging people to vote on Election Day or even later in the voting period.
The county has noticed a correlation between how consistently or how long they have been using a site for early voting and the number of people that vote there. Certain polling locations may also be preferred for several other reasons.
