EARLY VOTING BEGINS MONDAY, OCTOBER 23 AND RUNS THROUGH FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3!!!

Special Message about the Congressional Races in District 21 and 25!!!

If a voter selects straight-party ticket for the rest of the statewide races, you still have to check a box specifically to select a candidate for the U.S. congressional race. If no box is checked in that race, the ballot won't register a vote for any congressional candidate.

Special Message about the Governor's Race!!!

There is no runoff in this 4-way race. Whoever gets the most votes wins. This means that the winner can become Governor with only 35% of the vote. So make sure that you vote for the ONLY candidate who can beat Rick Perry...Chris Bell!
