Meet the 2026 candidates in the primary runoffs

Election Day is Tuesday, May 26, 2026

Voter registration deadline: Monday, April 27, 2026
Early voting runs May 18-22

Who can vote in which runoff?

If you voted in March:

In the REPUBLICAN primary, you may vote in the REPUBLICAN runoff.
In the DEMOCRATIC primary, you may vote in the DEMOCRATIC runoff.

You cannot switch parties in the runoff.

If you DID NOT vote in March, you may choose either one of the two runoffs in which to vote.

There are statewide runoffs on both sides, so everyone has a runoff to vote in.
