If you want a quieter early voting center, skip the final day.
Data from three recent elections show Montgomery County voters crowd centers on the last day while weekend turnout stays low.
The final day was the busiest in all three elections, and weekends were the slowest.
- June 2026 primary, 7,326 of 28,576 early ballots, about 26%
- 2024 general election, 25,970 of 156,468 early ballots, about 17%
- July 2022 primary, 7,651 of 24,704 early ballots, about 31%
About 23% of eligible county voters cast a ballot in the June primary, according to state results. The early voting figures are unofficial and exclude provisional and absentee ballots.
When to go
Early voting for the general election runs Oct. 22 through Oct. 29. Centers open daily from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Voters in line by 8 p.m. can still cast a ballot. See the full list of Montgomery County election deadlines.
Dr. Gilberto Zelaya, public information officer for the Montgomery County Board of Elections, said centers will be staffed for the busiest days.
Voters can check current wait times at each early voting center on the county Board of Elections website.
Other ways to vote
Voters who prefer to skip the centers can return mail-in ballots. County teams have started checking them ahead of Election Day.
