What to Know About Voting in the 2026 Texas Primaries
Early voting for Texas’ March 3 primary includes races for governor, U.S. Senate, and local offices with runoffs set for June 6 if no majority is reached.
- Early voting opens Tuesday in North Texas for the March 3 primary, with an 11-day period from Feb. 18 to Feb. 27, including key statewide races.
- Because the primary selects party nominees, Texas primaries decide who advances to the November general election, and voters may only vote in one party's primary and must stick with that party in runoff elections.
- Voters can use any county polling place during early voting, but must bring an approved photo ID, with the registration deadline having passed.
- This is the first statewide contest under newly drawn congressional and legislative district maps, potentially reshaping 2027 representation as lower turnout may give each voter outsized influence.
- Voters should review their sample ballot and confirm polling locations before voting; mail-in ballots must be postmarked by 7 p.m. on Election Day and received by 5 p.m. on March 3.
