All registered voters in Texas may vote in the Primary Elections.
Major Political Parties in Texas:
In Texas, the major political parties hold Primary Elections to determine their candidates. The Texas Primary Elections will be held March 3, 2026. Candidates who wish to represent one of the major parties in races that will appear on the
November 4, 2026 General Election ballot must first win that party’s Primary Election.
See
LWVRichardson's Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page for answers to some frequently asked questions regarding the Primary Election.
In Texas, registered voters may vote in either major political party’s Primary Election. You do not have to register in advance with the political party. You may
not vote in
both political parties’ Primary Elections.
Minor Parties in Texas:
You may either vote in a major party Primary Election or participate in a minor party’s convention, but you may not do both in the same year.

About one week before Early Voting begins, the League of Women Voters will make its online Voters Guide available at
VOTE411.org. At that website:
- Enter your address.
- View a personalized Voters Guide that will include only the candidates/issues that will be on your ballot.
- For races involving candidates in a contested race, the candidates have been asked questions by LWV. All candidates were asked the same questions. The candidates themselves typed in any responses. Some candidates may have chosen not to participate.
- For elections involving issues (e.g., bonds, constitutional amendments, charter amendments), LWV has provided information on what people are saying in support of or in opposition to each issue.
- Whether there are candidates or issues/bonds on your ballot, you may compare information side by side for each race that will be on your ballot.
The nonpartisan printed Voters Guides for all races in the Primary Election will be available about a week before Early Voting begins.
When the Leagues' printed Voters Guides for Dallas County are ready, they will be available in Richardson at:
- Temporary City Hall Annex and Library (2360 Campbell Creek Blvd. Richardson 75082)
- Huffhines Recreation Center
- Heights Recreation Center
- Richardson Senior Center
Printable copies of the League of Women Voters of Collin County’s Voters Guides will be available on their
website.
The same information that is in the League’s printed Voters Guides will also be available online at
VOTE411.org.
We will update this page as information becomes available.
