The Heights Democratic Club is a neighborhood-based, subgroup in affiliation with the Harris County Democratic Party. It was established to promote the ideas and beliefs of the Democratic party. We achieve our mission by recruiting speakers for our members from candidates and elected officals at all levels of government. We are called the Greater Heights Democratic Club because we welcome members from adjacent areas to the Heights, particularly inside the Loop between I-10 and Loop 610. Actually we welcome anyone of any belief, as long as they help us promote Democratic causes and candidates.

Take your Texas drivers license or photo ID card and Voter Certificate (orange card you received in the mail) to vote in person. A new device at early voting locations can speed up early voting lines by scanning your driver’s license or ID card. (If you don’t have your ID or voter certificate, other items that can provide identification to vote are utility bills or state (official) check stubs.)
Remember that you can’t wear clothing or buttons touting any candidate into the polling place.
Don’t wait till the last 2 days of early voting - the lines will be longer then.
Vote Early to reduce phone calls. The candidates can get nightly updates of who has already voted. They will stop calling when you have voted.
