What you need to know about the Texas primary

Voting underway in Texas for Super Tuesday primaries
Voting underway in Texas for Super Tuesday primaries 03:14

If you don't cast an early ballot in the Texas primary, election day voting is underway until 7 p.m.

Election Day voting hours are 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. at all polling places statewide.  

The ballot includes candidates for the U.S. Senate, the State Board of Education, the Railroad Commission, judicial seats, congressional and legislative offices, and, of course, the next president.  

Here's a look at what you need to know before you go. 

To vote in the primary you needed to register by Feb 5. You can check your registration status here

Registered and eligible voters can vote at an early voting location located in their county of residence. You can find your voting locations via your county's website.

To vote by mail, your application must be received by February 23. If you vote by mail, those ballots must be postmarked by 7 p.m. today and must be received by your county elections department by 5 p.m. on March 6.

Eye on Politics Brief: Voter turnout 00:48

Remember: Texas primaries are open, meaning you don't have to be registered as a member of a party to participate in its primary.

But, you can only vote in one party's primary, not both.

May 28 is set aside in case there are any runoffs. And general election day is Nov. 5.

What do I need to bring to the polls?

The following are acceptable forms of identification that voters need to bring to the polls.

  • Texas Driver License issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS)
  • Texas Election Identification Certificate issued by DPS
  • Texas Personal Identification Card issued by DPS
  • Texas Handgun License issued by DPS
  • United States Military Identification Card containing the person's photograph
  • United States Citizenship Certificate containing the person's photograph
  • United States Passport (book or card)

What's a primary? What is a caucus?

What's a caucus anyway and how is it different from a primary?

Caucuses are organized by the party. Primaries are organized by the state.

In general, caucuses are only open to party members and require more participation, time, and engagement. A lot fewer voters participate in caucuses than in primaries.

On the other hand, primaries can be open to anyone or closed to party members only.

Texas primaries are open, meaning voters don't have to be registered as party members to vote in primaries. But, you can only vote in one party's primary, not both.

Caucuses don't directly choose a presidential candidate. Neither do primaries.

They select delegates who vote for a specific candidate at the party's national convention.

Also, this process isn't exclusive to the big political parties. The Green and Libertarian parties can also caucus or run primaries.

How many delegates does Texas have?

Primary election day marks the first step in the state's party convention process. 

Voters focus on the candidates during the primary, but what those votes really do is determine how many delegates will represent each candidate at the party conventions.

At the conventions, delegates cast their vote for a candidate based on the preferences of the voters.

First, there are precinct conventions, followed by county conventions, and finally the state conventions.

At the state convention, delegates also get to create and shape the party platform and rules.

If you want to be a delegate at a convention, you have to have voted in the primary.

Texas Republicans have 161 delegates and the Democrats have 273 delegates. Both parties' state conventions will be held May 23 through 25. 

There are a total of 2,429 Republican delegates in the country. To win the Republican nomination for president, it takes at least 1,215 delegates. There are 4,672 Democratic delegates in total. To win the Democratic nomination for president, it takes 1,968 delegates.

What is a delegate?

Delegates are people who move the process from the state-level vote through to the conventions.

Eye on Politics Brief: What are delegates 01:12

Both party's national conventions feature thousands of delegates representing all 50 states plus the District of Columbia and several U.S. territories.

Delegates are people who are usually very involved in party politics. They're bound to the party candidate who won the state's primary, caucus or convention. But the number of delegates and the way they cast their votes varies by state.

Texas is one of the states that follows a "Winner takes most" method.

The state's Republican party put its own twist on it this year. The majority of the GOP's 161 delegates will vote for the candidate who wins the state primary. And 25% will vote for the candidate who wins the Republican state convention. This could end up being the same candidate.

On the other side, there are 272 Democratic delegates. Twenty-eight of these are actually superdelegates. Superdelegates can support any presidential candidate they want at the national conventions.

Ultimately, it's the candidate who accumulates a majority of the delegates at the national conventions who advances to the general election.

What's on the ballot?
