Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R), on Monday July 27th, Extended the Early Voting period for the November Election by Six days, citing continued Challenges posed by the Coronavirus Pandemic.
Early Voting for the Nov. 3rd Election will now begin Oct. 13th instead of Oct. 19th. The End date remains Oct. 30th.
Abbott and other Texas GOP Leaders continue to Resist a Push by Democrats to Expand Mail-In Voting.
Democrats Failed to Convince the Courts to Expand Mail-In Voting for the Runoffs but are pressing forward with their efforts for the General Election.
But the Monday Announcement from the Governor, gave Eligible Mail-In Voters more time to turn in their Completed Ballots In-Person, if they would like to do so.
Current Law allows those Voters to Submit their Ballots to the Early Voting Clerk’s office, In-Person instead of Mailing them in, but Only while Polls are Open on Election Day.
Abbott’s latest move Expands that Option to the entire Early Voting Period.
