HOUSTON – On Tuesday, March 3, Texans will head to the polls to vote on which candidate they want to represent their interests and their party on the ballot for the November general election.
Before you head to the polls, you should know you have rights as a voter, and there are certain rules in place at voting locations about what you can bring and wear. You also need an approved photo ID to vote in person.

How do primaries work?
The election will be on March 3, and early voting will run Feb. 17-27. In each race, the candidate who wins more than half of the votes will face the winning candidate from the other party in the November general election. If no candidate gets a majority of votes in a primary race, the top two vote-getters will head to a runoff election on May 26. You don’t have to register with a party. But you can only participate in one party’s primary, and you’ll only be able to vote in that party’s subsequent runoff election.
Polling places are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day, with early voting running from Feb. 17 through 27.
