TYLER, Texas (KETK) – Next Tuesday marks Election Day for runoff races in Texas.
Several statewide races and local races are destined for runoffs this time around. A race goes into a runoff if any one candidate fails to get at least 50% of the vote during the primaries. The runoff winners will then go on to be their party’s candidate in the November general election.
Registered voters will be able to vote for either the Republican or Democratic primary runoffs. To check your registration status, visit this webpage to check. The last day to register to vote in time for the May 24 runoffs was April 25.
Each county has designated polling locations, found here.
