As members of the Texas Retired Teachers Association (TRTA) may know, election day for the Primary Runoff is coming up on May 24, and early voting is happening now through Friday<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

TRTA members, we encourage you to vote in this very important election. Voter turnout is often very low in primary elections and even lower in runoff elections. Only 18% of registered voters<\/a> in Texas voted in the March 2022 primary. Please make sure you have a plan to vote in the runoff!<\/p>\n

What is the primary runoff election? <\/strong>
\nThis election is for races that did not have a majority winner during the March 1 primary election. The winners from each party will advance to the November 8 general election.<\/p>\n

Who can vote? <\/strong>
\nFirst, make sure you’re registered to vote<\/a>. Please note, if you did not vote during the primary in March, you can still vote in the runoff in either party! However, if you voted in the March primary, you must vote in the same party primary during the runoff.<\/p>\n
