Texans are gearing up to cast their votes in the primary elections on March 3, 2026, as both the Democratic and Republican parties select candidates for the upcoming midterm elections in November. Ensuring that you are registered to vote is crucial for participation in this important process.
To confirm your voter registration status, visit the Texas Secretary of State’s website. The “Am I Registered” portal allows users to enter their identifying information, such as a Texas Driver’s License number, to check their registration status. This portal also provides details about early voting and polling locations for election day.
It is important to note that to participate in the March primary elections, voters must be registered by February 2, 2026. During these primaries, Texans will only vote in their respective party’s election, determining which candidates will appear on the ballot in November.
Understanding the Ballot and Key Races
The specific races that will appear on your ballot depend on your residential area. While there are several statewide positions up for grabs, including the Texas governor and a U.S. Senate seat, voters will also have the opportunity to select candidates for local county and district offices.
As the election date approaches, several key races are gaining attention in Houston and across Texas. These primaries are expected to be competitive, with voters eager to make their voices heard on various issues and leadership choices.
For those interested in reviewing their sample ballot, this can also be accessed through the Secretary of State’s website. Engaging with the electoral process is essential, and knowing your registration status is the first step to participating in shaping Texas’s political landscape.
