Election Day in Houston (Nov. 3, 2026)

On Tuesday's show: As voters head to the polls on Election Day, we check in with Houston Public Media reporters at polling places around town to get a sense of how things are playing out. Then, we remind you what to do if you have to file a provisional ballot. And we provide our usual last-minute voter’s guide for procrastinators.

Also this hour: At a time when many Texas school districts are sending thousands of children as young at ten into the criminal justice system, Daniella Jiménez of the Houston Chronicle explains what some districts are doing in Harris County to keep more children out of it.

And we revisit the story of The Melody Maids, a singing group of teenage girls from southeast Texas that traveled the world to perform for troops from WWII to Vietnam. Their story is the subject of The Melody Maids Movie, which is airing Nov. 9 at 10 p.m. on Houston Public Media, TV 8.
