HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — On an all-new episode of This Week in Texas, ABC13 speaks with two candidates vying for the City of Houston Controller, Chris Hollins and Orlando Sanchez.

We look at the last poll before the runoff election winds down, and voters cast their ballots and gain insight from one of the political scientists behind the survey, Jeronimo Cortina.

“We found that there is a significant number of undecided voters that still don’t know how they’re gonna vote if they choose to vote,” Cortina told ABC13.

In addition, we discuss turnout and why down-ballot races may suffer more than those at the top of the ticket. It’s called “voter rolloff”.

It’s an election-centric edition of This Week in Texas.
