2026 Texas Primary Election in Lubbock County
Texas voters are selecting party nominees for federal, state, and local offices during the March 3, 2026 primary election. Early voting concluded on February 27 after running from February 17 through February 27.

How the Vote Center System Works
Under the countywide vote center model:
- You do not need to visit a specific precinct location.
- Any open vote center can process your ballot.
- Your ballot style is generated electronically after check-in.
- Poll workers verify registration in real time.
This system has streamlined voting in recent election cycles and has helped reduce confusion about precinct assignments.
What You Must Bring to Vote
Texas law requires voters to present an approved photo ID. Acceptable forms include:
- Texas Driver License
- Texas Personal Identification Card
- Texas Election Identification Certificate
- Texas Handgun License
- U.S. Military Identification Card (with photo)
- U.S. Citizenship Certificate (with photo)
- U.S. Passport (book or card)
The ID can be expired up to four years for voters under age 70. For voters aged 70 or older, expired identification remains valid.
If you cannot reasonably obtain one of these IDs, you may complete a Reasonable Impediment Declaration and present an alternative form of identification such as a utility bill, bank statement, or government document showing your name and address.
