Texas sample ballot for the 2026 primary runoffs shows every race to vote on
The 2026 primary runoff elections in Texas are on Tuesday, May 26. If no candidate from the March 2 primaries received more than 50% of the vote, the top two finishers go head to head in the runoff.
All voters will have select statewide races on their ballots. Some voters will have other races as well, depending on where they live.
How to tell which races will be on your local Texas ballot
So how do you know what races will be on your ballot? Many county elections departments make sample ballots available.
In Dallas County, for instance, voters can input their registration details on the elections department website to see the ballots that will be at their polling place for both the Republican and Democratic primaries. Dallas County also lets voters see generic sample ballots for both party primaries.
Most statewide races were decided in March, and the races that remain differ by party. Every voter may have other select offices to choose from depending on their county, Congressional district or state legislative districts.
