......"I would have preferred to be able to tell people on Election Day, 'If you're from Galveston, go to the poll where you are,' " Eiland said.

Godinich says that displaced voters can avoid problems by casting a ballot during early voting, Oct. 20-31, or casting an absentee ballot by mail by Oct. 28.

The storm destroyed voting precincts on Galveston Island and the Bolivar Peninsula, reducing the countywide number from 72 to 61, Godinich said.....

Those displaced could request and get a absentee ballot. In addition the early voting locations within the counties allow for them to vote at their convenience while in the county. There was a lot of devastation right along the coast but inward it was less after you get beyond the surge flooding.
