To check your registration status and view Early Voting and Election Day polling locations, log in to the Texas Secretary of State’s My Voter Portal (https://teamrv-mvp.sos.texas.gov/MVP/mvp.do).
On May 24, the Democratic and Republican parties will hold run off elections for races in which no single candidate earned more than 50% of the vote in the March 1 Primary Elections. The winner of each party’s primary runoff election will appear as that party’s nominee on the November 8th General Election ballot.
Under Texas law, if you cast a ballot in a party’s primary election, you can only participate in that same party’s primary run-off election. In other words, voters cannot switch parties after the main primary election to vote in another party’s primary runoff election. If you did not cast a ballot in either party’s primary election, you have the option of voting in either party’s primary runoff election.
You can view a full list of candidates who will appear on each party’s primary runoff ballot on the Texas Secretary of State’s candidate information portal (https://candidate.texas-election.com/Elections/getQualifedCandidatesInfo.do).
