Sitting out this election? Might want to reconsider, says Harris County's chief elections official
Harris County has over 2.5 million registered voters, but only around half vote in each presidential and midterm election, according to Harris County voter registration data. A 2020 poll from FiveThirtyEight and Ipsos found that respondents who said they almost never vote generally believe their vote doesn't matter or distrust the electoral system as a whole.
