On March 6, 2018 voters in the Democratic and Republican parties will go to the polls to select their nominees for partisan political office at the county, state, and federal levels.
The winners of the primaries become their party’s nominees for the Nov. 6, 2018 general election. For races where no candidate receives a majority of their party’s votes, a runoff election is held May 22. In the runoff, the top-finishing two candidates are on the ballot, and the one who receives the most votes gets the nomination.

Candidate Filing Period
Candidates file with their political party for a position on the ballots. The filing period is from Nov. 11, 2017 – Dec. 11, 2017.
To file for a place on the ballot, you generally must be a resident and qualified voter of the district the position represents for a minimum period of time. Candidates for judicial positions other than Justice of the Peace must be attorneys in order to qualify. For more specific information about filing, contact your local party:
- Denton County Democratic Party
- Denton County Republican Party
- Dallas County Democratic Party
- Dallas County Republican Party
Candidates wishing to appear on the ballot under other affiliations should connect with the Libertarian Party of Texas or the Green Party of Texas.
Voter / Party Affiliation
In every even-numbered year, Texas voters may choose only one primary to vote in: Republican or Democratic. Texas voters do not register by party, but they do become affiliated with the party for that two year period by voting in that party’s primary election.
Voters who vote in a primary election may not sign petitions for candidates in other parties, and may not caucus or convention with another party in the same election cycle. Parties other than Republican and Democratic may select their candidates by convention.
You may vote in a party’s runoff election on May 22 only if you have not affiliated with another party by voting in the other party’s primary or participating in a convention.
Regardless of which party or candidates you voted for in the primary election, you may vote for the candidates of your choice from either or any party in the November general election.
