7.7 MILLION TEXANS ALREADY VOTED! NOW COMES THE FINAL TEST

Early voting surpassed the 2018 midterm record as Texas braces for Election Day.

More than 7.7 million Texans cast early ballots in the 2026 midterms, surpassing the state’s 2018 midterm early-voting total. That surge makes Election Day turnout especially important as candidates compete in close statewide and local races. Voters should confirm their polling location and hours with their county election office before heading out Tuesday.
