Texas Super Tuesday: What Harris County Voters Need To Know

Voters in Texas head to the polls on Tuesday along with residents in 13 other states and American Samoa in the first major primary day in the U.S. after the nominating contests in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina. Just over a third of pledged delegates are up for grabs in the Democratic Primary for the presidential nomination.

In Texas, an Emerson College poll shows Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders leading the pack of Democratic candidates with former Vice President Joe Biden in second place. Former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg is polling in third place followed by Elizabeth Warren.

Compared to the last poll conducted by the college, Sanders gained 15 points while Biden dropepd two points, pollsters explained.

Voters in Harris County will also select their preferred candidates in several other federal, statewide and local races. Texas is one of 17 states that has an open primary system so voters don't have to declare a party affiliation prior to arriving at the polls. At the polls, voters select either the Democratic or Republican ballot.

Polls open at 7 a.m. in Texas and close at 7 p.m. Harris County voters can cast their ballots at any polling location in the county. Information on the acceptable forms of voter ID that can be presented at the polls can be found via the Harris County Clerk's website.
