A Primary Election is the process political parties use to choose which candidates will represent them in the general election. Primaries happen for races at every level: local, state, and federal. In Texas, anyone can vote in either the Democratic or the Republican Primary. However, if you typically support Democratic candidates in a General Election, you are encouraged to vote in the Democratic Primary. In Texas, casting your vote in the Republican Primary as a Democrat does not move the needle. But it does make Democratic candidates’ job more difficult to find their voters and prepare for victory in November.
If you want to understand the positions of various Democrats vying for a seat, one of the most comprehensive voter guides with a sample ballot can be found at Vote411. You can also find ballot information here for Travis and Williamson County residents, including sample ballots.
