Every race, every candidate

All 468 candidates on the Texas Secretary of State's official list for federal, statewide and legislative offices, each with a profile page. County offices, district judges and city races are listed on each county page.

U.S. Senate, statewide offices and statewide courts

Texas voters choose a U.S. senator, a governor, a lieutenant governor and five other statewide officers this year: attorney general, comptroller, land commissioner, agriculture commissioner and one railroad commissioner. They also choose four Texas Supreme Court justices, three Court of Criminal Appeals judges and three justices of the 15th Court of Appeals, a statewide appeals court. Judges in Texas run in partisan races, like other offices. Texas no longer has straight-ticket voting, so you mark each race.

U.S. House

Your district's one vote in the U.S. House. House members write and vote on federal laws, taxes and spending, and every bill to raise taxes has to start in the House. A term is two years.

State Senate

16 of the 31 state Senate seats are on the ballot; senators elected this year serve four-year terms. Races with one candidate are still on the ballot.

State House

Your district's vote in the Texas House of Representatives. Members write and vote on state laws and the state budget, and every bill to raise taxes has to start in the House. A term is two years.
