2026 Texas Primary Election Guide

Whether you're behind a counter, at a desk, or under the sun, Texas should be a place where hard work is enough to cover rent, put food on the table, and survive. But wealthy corporations and the politicians they've bought keep themselves rich and keep us underwater by cutting dirty political deals — and they’re banking on us staying quiet so nobody notices.

Imagine what our wages, our public safety, and our neighborhoods would look like if we came together to demand politicians stop the grift and make wealthy corporations pay what they owe.

Corrupt politicians don't want us connecting the dots: every issue on this ballot is a united fight, and voting together makes our win inevitable. This year, let's come full force. Bold at the ballot box. Bring your hopes, your anger, your community — and your ID — to the polls.

Provisional and Limited Ballot Voting: 

If you’re voting and something doesn’t seem right with your registration or voter identification, don’t worry! You still have options to cast your vote. Here’s what you need to know about provisional and limited ballots:

  • Provisional Ballots: A provisional ballot is used when there’s a question about your eligibility to vote. Your vote may count once election officials have verified your information. You may be asked to vote provisionally if:

    • You don’t have the required ID

    • Your registration status is unclear

    • You’re at the wrong polling location

  • Limited Ballot: If you recently moved to a new Texas county and did not update your voter registration before the deadline, you may be eligible to vote using a limited ballot. This means you’ll only be able to vote on certain races or issues where you're eligible, depending on the situation. Limited ballots are only available during early voting and must be cast at the main early voting location in your new county. Election officials can help determine if this option applies to you.
