Early voting begins for both Democratic and Republican primary runoff elections

Houston - Early voting for the Republican and Democratic primary runoff elections runs from June 29 through July 10, 2020. Election day is on Tuesday, July, 14.

Voters in the Texas primaries and conventions choose who will run for office in the November General Elections.

voting year. That means if you voted in the Republican Primary in March you are eligible to vote in the Republican runoff if you voted in the Democratic Primary you can vote in the Democratic runoff. If you voted in neither you are still eligible le to vote in either one of the party's run-off elections.
The items on your ballot may vary depending on where you live in the county.
