(KXII) – Texas is gearing up for the 2026 primary elections on Tuesday, when voters in Texas will decide on several statewide seats, as well as who will represent their party in the November general election.<\/p>\n

Tuesday\u2019s outcome will be shaped by multiple hotly contested statewide races, including the U.S. Senate race on both the Republican and Democratic sides of the primaries. <\/p>\n

Incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. John Cornyn is running to keep his seat against seven candidates in the Republican primary, including Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and U.S. Rep. Wesley Hunt.<\/p>\n

On the Democratic side, polls are signaling a close race between U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett and state Rep. James Talarico.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, statewide seats up for grabs on the ballot include the attorney general, lieutenant governor, and governor, as Gov. Greg Abbott seeks a fourth term against many Republican and Democratic challengers.<\/p>\n

Election day voting hours are from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on March 3.<\/p>\n
