Polls open at 7 a.m. today across Texas for major federal, state and local races — including the recently redrawn Tarrant County Commissioners Court.

Republicans and Democrats weigh their candidates today to see who will be the party’s nominee for the general election on Nov. 3. 

Candidates need more than 50% of the vote in the primary to win the nomination. If no candidate crosses that threshold, a runoff election will be triggered between the top two vote-getters. A runoff, if needed, will be May 26.

Keep up with election results at the Fort Worth Report’s Election Central, which will be updated throughout the night as results come in. 

You can catch up on what the candidates said are their priorities in our 2026 Voter Guide.

Tarrant County residents look up who represents them here. Voter registration status and sample ballots can be found at this page.

This story will be updated throughout Election Day.
