Democratic early voting surges in Texas primary, far outpacing previous elections

Democratic early voting in Texas’ primary election has surged compared to both the last midterm cycle and the most recent presidential primary.

According to data from the Texas Secretary of State, nearly 483,000 Democrats had cast early ballots in person or by mail as of Sunday. That's an increase of more than 211,000 compared with the same point in the 2022 primary.

Turnout was also significantly higher than during the 2024 presidential primary. At this stage of early voting that year, 257,680 Democrats had cast ballots in Texas.

Republican early turnout, by comparison, stands at about 446,000 ballots so far — roughly 6,000 more than at this point in 2022 but slightly lower than the more than 522,000 Republicans who had voted by this stage in the 2024 presidential primary.
