Title: Voting Information
Topic: Voting
Discussed by Stan Stanart
with Stanart for Harris County Clerk

Early Voting is underway in Texas. If you have not voted yet, listen in for some very important information! Harris County Clerk, Stan Stanart, will be explaining how the election process works in Texas and what you should do if you notice something “fishy”.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Who can vote early?

Where can people vote early? Can you vote anywhere or just your specific county?

What are the early voting hours and days?

So far, has the turnout been much higher than previous years?

Should people vote “Straight Party”? If so, what should they do BEFORE they hit the “Submit” button?

NOTE: If you vote Straight Party, make sure you vote all the way down ballot to the end for the school board races and others. Those are NOT party-related and must be selected separately.

What if someone notices that a vote has been entered incorrectly?

VERY IMPORTANT: An election judge or worker is NOT allowed to touch the voting machine. If you have an issue, they can help, but they CANNOT touch the machine.

Title: New Texas Voter ID Laws
Topic: Voter ID Laws
Discussed by Stan Stanart
with Stanart for Harris County Clerk

Harris County Clerk Stan Stanart has all the details regarding new voter identification laws in Texas just in time for the Presidential Election this November. For more information on this issue and to check to see if you are registered at your current residence, click here.

(Disclaimer: The official ruling from the Secretary of State regarding the new laws has not been issued, so any information discussed in this interview is subject to change.)

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Will Texas voters be required to show one of the six acceptable forms of photo ID prior to voting in the upcoming Presidential Election?

If a voter does not have a photo ID when attempting to vote in the upcoming Presidential Election, will they still be allowed to vote? Note: Stan gives more details concerning this issue later in the interview, so make sure you listen to the entire segment!

Voters have been required to present photo ID at the polls in Texas for several years and the system has gone very smoothly. Why all the change now?

Should every state in America implement voter photo ID laws similar to those in Mexico, some African countries, and other nations around the globe?

Has there been proven voter fraud in elections across America in recent years?

Requiring photo ID to vote makes so much sense to me. Why are there groups who oppose photo ID laws?

Other states have strict photo ID requirements for voting. Why was Texas singled out?

Texas requires voters to present an approved form of photo identification to vote at the polls. To facilitate the voter qualification process when YOU go to the poll, YOU should:

Texas driver license—unexpired or expired less than 60 days — issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS)
Texas Election Identification Certificate (EIC) issued by DPS

Title: New Voter ID Laws in Texas are Being Well Received
Topic: Voter ID Laws
Discussed by Stan Stanart
with Stanart for Harris County Clerk

Total turnout for the March 4th Primary Elections was 193,491 voters; a mere 9.7% turnout. That is incredibly sad to me. How did Harris County voters respond to new voter ID laws?

In the Republican Primary, 25 of the 139,703 voters voted provisionally because they did not present an acceptable photo ID. In the Democratic Primary, 10 of the 53,788 voters voted provisionally because they did not present an acceptable photo ID. As provided by law, within 6 days after Election Day, 4 Republican voters and 1 Democratic voter provided an acceptable Photo ID to the voter Registrar so that their provisional vote would be counted.

Stan Stanart, Harris County Clerk and Chief Elections Officer of the County, discusses this and what to expect in future elections.
