What Are We Voting for in the March 2024 Primaries?

2024 is a Presidential Election year, but many other officials at the federal, state and local level will also be on the ballot in Texas, including:

  • 1 U.S. Senator
  • All 38 United States Representatives
  • 15 State Senators
  • All 150 State Representatives
  • 1 Railroad Commissioner
  • 7 State Board of Education members
  • 3 members of the Texas Supreme Court
  • Texas Court of Criminal Appeals members
  • Justices for Texas Courts of Appeals
  • District judges on criminal and family courts
  • County Courts at Law
  • Justices of the Peace
  • District Attorneys
  • County Attorneys
  • Sheriffs
  • Constables
  • Tax Assessor-Collectors

In the March 5 primary election, Texans will be narrowing candidates for these elected offices within the Democratic and Republican parties. The candidate who wins the majority, or more than half, of votes in their race will face candidates from other parties in the November general election. If no candidate gets a majority of votes in their race, the top two vote-getters will head to a May 28 primary runoff election. 

Texas is one of 16 states that have open primaries, meaning Texas voters can choose to vote in either the Democratic or Republican Primary. The Green and Libertarian parties select their candidates through a series of local and state conventions beginning March 12. Although you can choose to vote in any party’s primary, you can only participate in one primary or a third party’s convention.

Make Your Mark – Register to Vote

The registration deadline for the March 5th Primary Election is Monday, February 5, 2024.

To confirm your voter registration status, you can visit the Texas Secretary of State’s “Am I Registered? portal, which allows you to look up your voter registration record in the statewide voter registration database.

Voter registration in Texas is county-based, so we encourage you to contact your county voter registrar for specific questions regarding the status of your voter registration.

If you need to register, you can download a voter registration application, which must be printed, signed and mailed to your county’s elections office. You can also find voter registration applications specific to your county in the above table of Voter Information by County.

Texans who have recently changed their name or moved can easily update their voter registration online through Texas.gov. Update your voter registration information online here.

You are eligible to vote if:

  • You are a U. S. citizen;
  • You are a resident of the county where you submit the application;
  • You are at least 18 years old on Election Day;
  • You are not a convicted felon (you may be eligible to vote if you have completed your sentence, probation, and parole); and
