Today’s (Nov. 5) the first election where Harris County will take advantage of advanced technology and permit voting at any county polling place for any race.
HarrisVotes.com will connect registered voters with a list of precincts close to their home, workplace or other convenient destination, and voters have until 7 p.m. to cast a customized ballot that will be generated.
For traditionalists, Bellaire has three of its usual polling places open in light of the city’s bi-annual election for mayor and half the City Council. We are providing the traditional precinct numbers for each, although voting is permitted anywhere — and the county no longer lists a specific location but a selection of nearby polling places when you enter an address

•ChristChurch Presbyterian, 5001 Bellaire Blvd.
