\"\" article The Brief Early voting is officially underway for the May primary runoff elections.Early voting runs from May 18-22.Election day is May 26. <\/p>\n

Early voting for the Texas primary runoff elections begins Monday and runs through Friday.<\/p>\n

Around 30 state and federal races will go back to the voters to be decided after candidates in those races failed to receive half of the votes cast in the March primaries.<\/p>\n

Runoff election day is May 26.<\/p>\n

Voters who voted in the March primary elections can only vote in the runoff elections of the party they selected in March. Voters who did not vote in March can vote in either party’s runoff.<\/p>\n

What’s on the ballot?<\/a> What is a runoff election?<\/a> Am I registered to vote?<\/a> Early voting locations<\/a> Statewide Republican runoffs: U.S. Senate: John Cornyn and Ken PaxtonTexas attorney general: Mayes Middleton and Chip RoyTexas Railroad Commission: Bo French and Jim WrightTexas County of Criminal Appeals Place 3: Alison Fox and Thomas Smith Statewide Democratic runoffs Lieutenant governor: Vikki Goodwin and Marcos VelezAttorney general: Nathan Johnson and Joe Jaworski <\/p>\n

Voters may also be asked to choose their party’s nominee for Congress, the Texas House and other elections.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The easiest way to check your voter registration status is to head to the\u00a0Secretary of State’s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Am I Registered<\/a> portal on the website lets you submit your identifying information, like a Texas Driver’s License number or details about your birth.<\/p>\n

You will find out instantly if you’re registered to vote. The portal will also give you your poll location and early voting locations.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
