EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14/CBS4) — The El Paso County Elections Department is reminding voters that early voting for the March 2026 primary election starts next Tuesday and continues through Friday, Feb. 27.

Voters have 11 days, including Saturday and Sunday, to cast their ballots at a convenient time.

In Texas, voters in a primary election choose either a Democratic or Republican ballot.

Each party’s primary allows voters to select candidates for the November 2026 general election.

Ballots include candidates for state and local offices, as well as propositions. If no candidate receives more than 50% of the votes in races with three or more candidates, a runoff election will be held on May 26, 2026.

Voters are encouraged to visit www.epcountyvotes.com for tools and information, including checking voter registration status, viewing voting history, and accessing a personalized sample ballot.

There are 39 early voting locations throughout El Paso County, and voters can view a list of sites, hours, and real-time wait times.

Voters must present one of seven acceptable forms of photo identification to cast a regular ballot.

Those without acceptable ID can complete a Reasonable Impediment Declaration at the voting site.

Voters with questions can contact the El Paso County Elections Department at (915) 273-3597 or email epelections@epcounty.com.
