US EditionWhat to Know About Voting in the 2026 Texas Primaries
Early voting opens for Texas primaries featuring major statewide and congressional races; low turnout expected to increase each vote's impact, experts say.
- On Feb. 17, early voting opens in Texas for the March 3 primary, running through Feb. 27 with an 11-day early window, including key statewide and congressional races.
- Because the primary selects party nominees, Texas primaries determine who appears on the November general election ballot and require voters to stick with one party for runoffs.
- Voters can use any county polling place during early voting, but some counties require precinct-only voting on Election Day; the voter registration deadline has passed and an approved photo ID list is required in person.
- This is the first statewide contest under newly drawn congressional and legislative district maps, potentially reshaping 2027 representation, while lower turnout may give each vote outsized influence.
- Contact your county election offices or use tools to confirm polling locations; mail-in ballots must be postmarked by 7 p.m. on Election Day and received by 5 p.m. that day.
