Overview

  • Early voting runs May 18–22 and closes Friday, with Election Day scheduled for Tuesday, May 26 and polls open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Central Time.
  • A high‑profile Republican U.S. Senate runoff between Sen. John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton remains on the ballot and is drawing extra attention.
  • Voters must use the same party ballot they chose in March and bring an acceptable photo ID such as a Texas driver’s license, U.S. passport, or U.S. military ID.
  • Because counties can change polling sites, voters should verify their assigned location at VoteTexas.gov or with county election offices before going to the polls.
  • Turnout is a key unknown: runoffs usually draw fewer voters and recent election fatigue in some counties could affect who secures nominations for November.
