A runoff election happens when no candidate gets a majority of the votes in a primary election. In cases where no candidate receives more than 50% of the total vote, a second election is held between the two candidates that received the most votes in the primary. This ensures the winner has majority support.
The easiest way to check your voter registration status is to head to the Secretary of State’s website.
The Am I Registered portal on the website lets you submit your identifying information, like a Texas Driver’s License number or details about your birth.
You will find out instantly if you’re registered to vote. The portal will also give you your poll location and early voting locations.
In most counties, you can vote early at any voting center in the county you’re registered in. To find early voting locations in your county, go to the county election office’s website.
