Dear Faculty, Staff and Students, Once again, the University of Houston will be hosting early voting and Election Day voting locations for all registered voters in Harris County. Working together with student leaders, UH Athletics, and the Office of the Harris County Clerk, we have taken as many precautions as possible in establishing these voting locations in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Early voting will be held in the UH Student Center while Election Day voting will be held at the TDECU Stadium Club Level. In addition, early voting has been extended by one week to a total of three weeks, beginning Tuesday, Oct. 13, and concluding Friday, Oct. 30. As a reminder, if a University of Houston employee was not able to vote during early voting, supervisors may allow an employee to arrive up to two hours late or leave up to two hours early in order to allow an employee to vote on election day. Early Voting Visitor parking is available at the UH Welcome Center Garage or UH Hilton Garage. Parking vouchers will be provided inside the polling location so that there is no cost to park on campus to vote. Election Day
