Early Voting Opens for Houston’s District C Special Election

Mail-ballot applications are due March 24, with seven contenders seeking to replace Abbie Kamin.

Overview

  • Early voting runs through March 31 at six Harris County–run sites, generally open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday–Saturday and noon to 7 p.m. on Sundays.
  • Election Day is April 4 for the District C vacancy covering the Heights, Montrose and Meyerland.
  • The race was triggered by Texas’ resign-to-run rule after Abbie Kamin sought the Harris County Attorney post, a Democratic primary she won.
  • Seven candidates are on the ballot in the deep-blue district, and Kamin has not announced an endorsement in the contest.
  • If no candidate secures a majority, the race moves to a runoff, which would extend a stretch of frequent elections for many District C voters.
