Government

From 1836 to 1845, the Republic of Texas elected its own presidents.[1] In 1845, it was admitted to the United States as the state of Texas, and has been a participant in every presidential election since, except for 1864 and 1868. Texas did not participate in these due to its secession from the United States to join the Confederate States of America on February 1, 1861, and its status as an unreconstructed state in 1868 following the American Civil War.[2]

Texas gubernatorial elections, as well as other state office races, are held every four years on the nationwide Election Day, which is the Tuesday after the first Monday in November. They are held on years that are even-numbered, but not multiples of four, also known as a midterm, so they do not coincide with the presidential elections. Texas Senate elections for half of the chamber are held every two years on Election Day, with all of the chamber up for election on cycles after major redistricting takes place. Texas House elections are held every two years on Election Day.

For about a hundred years, from after Reconstruction until the 1990s, the Democratic Party dominated Texas politics, making part of the Solid South. In a reversal of alignments, since the late 1960s, the Republican Party has grown more prominent. By the 1990s, it became the state's dominant political party and remains so to this day, as Democrats have not won a statewide race since the 1994 Lieutenant gubernatorial election. Texas is a majority Republican state with Republicans controlling every statewide office.[3] Texas Republicans have majorities in the State House and Senate, an entirely Republican Texas Supreme Court, control of both Senate seats in the US Congress. Texas is America's most-populous Republican state.[4] Many commentators had suggested that Texas is trending Democratic since 2016, however, Republicans have continued to win every statewide office, albeit by reduced margins, as it was the third-closest state Republicans won in 2020.

Texas, simultaneous to Wyoming, was the first state to elect a woman governor in 1924 with the election of Miriam A. Ferguson.[5] Conversely, Texas has never elected a person of color to be governor.[6]

In a 2020 study led by political science researcher Scot Schraufnagel, Texas was ranked as the hardest state for citizens to vote in due to strict pre-registration laws and in-person voter registration deadlines.[7] Additionally, by the 2020 election, Texas had cut down the amount of polling stations in the state, making voting less widely available.[7]

To reduce the amount of time required to fill electoral vacancies, in special elections Texas dispenses with party primaries and instead uses a jungle primary system. Candidates of all parties (or no party) appear on the same ballot; if no single one of them receives 50 percent plus 1 vote, the two highest vote-getters also advance to a runoff irrespective of party affiliation.[9]

Texas has three uniform election dates: the first Saturday in May and the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.[10], and for partisan primary elections the first Tuesday in March in even-numbered years.[11]

As of 2024, 99.5 percent of registered voters in Texas are in jurisdictions using voting methods with some form of auditable paper ballot, an established best practice for recounts and audits.[12] Just 0.5 percent of Texas voters use electronic direct recording electronic machines (DREs) without a paper record of each vote.[13]

## Voting rights and voter powers

[edit]

### Districting

[edit]

Main article: Redistricting in Texas

### Procedure

[edit]

Texas uses an open primary for all partisan offices. Counties have a choice between separate or joint primaries.[14] In this system, voters may vote in either party's primary, without being affiliated with said party. Joint primaries take place at the same time and location, and voters must indicate to election staff which party primary they would like to participate in.

If there is a runoff election, voters may only participate in the runoff of the party they affiliated with in the primary (but if they did not vote in the primary, they may still vote in the runoff election and, if both parties are holding runoffs, may choose either one). Party affiliation expires at the end of the voting year in which affiliation was established.[15]

### History

[edit]

Women were rejected the right to vote in Texas until 1918, when a law that allowed women to only vote in primary elections was passed in the Texas Legislature.[16] Shortly after, full suffrage was extended in 1919 when Texas Legislature ratified the 19th Amendment in the U.S. Constitution.[16]

People of color were permitted to vote in the U.S. after the 15th Amendment in 1870, but African Americans continued to be oppressed when Texas allowed the Democratic Party to prevent them from voting in primary elections with The White Primary Law.[16] After that law was overruled by the U.S. Supreme Court, Texas Democrats enacted a rule that would not allow Black people to join the Democratic Party.[16] Once again, the Supreme Court overruled this decision, and soon after, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 ultimately secured voting right protections for African Americans in Texas.[16]

Texas began to provide voting materials in Spanish for voters who were not fluent in English in 1975.[16]
