Standard Texas Election Dates
Primary Elections
Elections in Texas normally occur three times a year, although runoff elections and special elections can add to that total.
The first week of March of even years is set aside for Primary Elections. Currently in Texas, when you register to vote you do not pick a party affiliation. During the Primary you’ll be asked to select a Republican or Democratic ballot. In doing so, you’ll be bound to that party if there is a runoff in any of the races. Of course, for the General Election in November you can vote for any candidate you want.
Runoff Elections result when a candidate in a Primary Election does not get more than 50% of the vote. These typically are scheduled in late May. Primary Elections include choices for Federal, State and County offices for each party.
Local Elections
In early May each year, you’ll be able to vote in your local election. This usually includes City Councils, School and Water Districts and other local propositions or districts. A Runoff occurs if no candidate gets more than 50% of the vote in these elections. The runoff date is usually set for mid to late June.
Constitutional Amendment Elections
In November of odd years, Texans will typically be able to vote on a slate of proposed amendments to the Texas State Constitution. There can be other things on the ballot as well, usually depending on where you live in the county.
General Elections
And finally, the even year General Elections that pit the Primary winning candidates from each party, in addition to others. These can either be for Federal or State offices and produce by far, the highest voter turnouts.
