Texas Midterm Elections Feature Record Early Turnout

Texans head to the polls for the 2026 midterm elections following record early voting turnout across the state. Voters will decide key gubernatorial and senate races alongside local municipal contests.

A "vote here" sign points people to the Nueces County Courthouse in Corpus Christi on Oct. 19, 2026, the first day of early voting.

More than 7.7 million voters cast ballots during early voting across the United States state of Texas for the November midterm election. This figure represents 40.5% of registered voters statewide, according to data from the Texas secretary of state.
