Where to Vote in Fort Bend on Tuesday

Wondering where you vote tomorrow, Tuesday, March 2nd in Fort Bend in the Democratic or Republican Primary? Here's a handy map - click on your County Commissioner Precinct (which you may not know, so just click on your area of the County and a list of voting locations will come up.)
You are in either County Commissioner Precinct 1, 2, 3 or 4 - the first number in your voting precinct is your County Commissioner Precinct. When you click on the map, you'll get a photo of your voting location. A more traditional list, in spreadsheet format, is here. Democrats and Republicans vote at the same location. Don't know your precinct number? Do a voter search on yourself here. I voted early, but my location tomorrow is the same place it always is, so this doesn't look too tricky. But, it's always best to check out the list, because precincts can be combined into one voting location. All polls are open from 7 AM to 7 PM on Tuesday, March 2nd.
Bring something to identify you - your voter certificate, driver's license, birth certificate, passport, or a piece of mail from a government entity addressed to you. It does not have to be a photo ID.
Democratic Primary voters, you return to your voting location for your precinct convention at 7:15 PM. More information about precinct conventions can be found here. If you want to be a delegate to the state Democratic convention in Corpus in June, your first step is to attend the precinct convention. Next, you'll attend your Senate District Convention on Saturday, March 20th.
5114 Democrats and 11,406 Republicans voted early in person in Fort Bend County. 87 Democrats and 2317 Republicans had voted by mail by the end of early voting. So, 5201 Democratic votes are already in the bank, and 13,723 Republican votes have been cast.
In the contested races on my ballot, I voted for:
Bill White - Governor
Linda Chavez Thompson - Lt. Governor
Hector Uribe - Land Commissioner
Hank Gilbert - Agriculture Commissioner
Philip Aitsebaomo - County Judge
Steve Brown - Democratic Party Chair
Doug Blatt - Congress
