Texas Governor Extends Early Voting Amid Pandemic

Governor Abbott of Texas extended the early voting period by six days due to the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing Texans to vote from October 13th to October 30th. This extension also expands the timeframe for hand-delivering mail-in ballots. Abbott emphasized the importance of safe voting practices to mitigate virus spread. However, Texas Democrats criticized the extension as insufficient, calling for broader mail-in voting access and more resources for election management. They argue that the measures do not adequately support voters' rights.
