The Harris County Elections Department closed all early vote centers for the CD-18 special runoff election on Sunday and Monday, citing hazardous winter weather.

Former Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee defeated Houston City Councilmember Amanda Edwards to fill this seat that’s been vacant for nearly 11 months since the death of Rep. Sylvester Turner. Both are planning to run for a full term in March’s primary, where they’ll also face current Democratic Rep. Al Green due to redistricting.

Former Houston City Council member Amanda Edwards and former Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee are competing in a Jan. 31 special election runoff as they seek to fill the vacancy in the 18th Congressional District.

Early voting will be open on Wednesday and Thursday due to lost polling hours from the winter storm.

Lynda Sanchez and Mike Wolfe are competing March 3 for the Republican nomination in the race against Democratic incumbent Teneshia Hudspeth.
