Harris County Reform Acts
Voting Reform Act
Establishing 21st Century Voting Centers for Harris County
What is more important in the American Democratic Process than Voting?
My attempt with this action is to ask the citizens of Harris County to consider The Voting Process Reform Act, this measure would change the voting process for the better.
1,024+
Polling locations
Harris County currently operates over 1,024 scattered polling stations — creating confusion, long lines, and unequal access for voters across the county.
The Problem
The Problem with Today's Polling Locations
Here in Harris County during the Election Season we have over 1,024 Polling Locations. Ask yourself why are we Voting in High School Gyms, Churches, Community Centers? In some cases we are voting in residential apartments and garages.
I think that it's time to build state of the art Voting Centers — facilities designed to accommodate hundreds of Ballot Casting Machines.
The Solution
The Solution: Harris County Annex Voting Centers
The Centers could be constructed on property owned by the citizens of Harris County. Here in Harris County we have spread out across the County, Harris County Annexes Buildings.
These sites allow residents of Harris County to conduct affairs like marriage licenses, license plates or tags, property tax payments. These facilities are scattered all over Harris County, in each case there is ample land and parking available for construction.
I am asking you the residents of Harris County to lead the nation in establishing facilities exclusively for voting. This would Establish Consistency in our Electoral Process Which Would Lead To Confidence In The Results.
Given that we conduct so many of our County Business affairs in these facilities, Voting should take place there as well.
Harris County Annexes
Prototype of a New Voting Center
Harris County Annex buildings are already spread across the county, serving residents for marriage licenses, license plates, and property tax payments. These facilities have ample land and parking — the perfect foundation for dedicated, state-of-the-art voting centers.
What This Act Delivers
Four Pillars of Reform
Dedicated Facilities
Purpose-built voting centers on Harris County Annex properties — no more gyms, churches, or garages.
Consistency & Confidence
Standardized facilities establish consistency in the electoral process, leading to confidence in results.
Voter Receipts
Each voter receives a receipt listing the candidates and propositions they voted for.
County-Wide Coverage
Annex locations are already scattered across Harris County with ample land and parking available.
This Act would establish consistency in the voting process to lead to confidence in the results. I am asking the residents of Harris County to establish voting centers on existing Harris County Court Annexes. We should lead the nation in establishing 21st Century Voting.
