Early Voting Starts Tuesday in Texas Primary; Secretary of State Urges Voters to Prepare
Texas voters must adhere to party-affiliation rules allowing participation in only one primary; early voting starts Feb. 17 for March 3 elections, selecting candidates for key state and federal offices.
- Early in-person voting starts February 17, with voters advised to rely on official info for the March 3 primary, Nelson said.
- Because parties run their own primaries, a voter who has not voted or taken an oath may choose to vote in either party’s primary when arriving at the polls.
- Poll workers trained about 3,000 staff and prepared for high turnout, and voters must present one of seven valid photo IDs, such as a state driver's license or U.S. citizenship certificate.
- Voters can only cast one party's primary ballot, must remain in that party for any runoff this year, and election officials advise deciding beforehand to reduce confusion.
- The ballot features high-profile statewide and federal races, including the U.S. Senate seat, governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general, and voters can find polling details at VoteTexas.gov or call 1-800-252-VOTE to register for the November general election.
