THE WOODLANDS, TX – In what could easily be the shortest amount of time spent in a voting booth for many, the runoff election for the 2024 Primary Election for Sheriff of Montgomery County is happening this week, Monday, May 20 - Friday, May 24, 7:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. each day.

In the March 5 primary, Henderson got 49.9 of the vote, Doolittle received 42.2 percent, and third-place opponent Kenton Ford garnered 3.9 percent of the vote. As no one received a majority vote of more than 50.1 percent, the runoff election was called.
