What is a Primary Election?
A Primary Election precedes a General Election. A Primary Election
serves as a method for the political parties to decide which candidates
would represent them in a General Election. The next General Election
in Texas will be on November 2nd, 2010. In Dallas County, only the
Democratic and Republican Parties hold primary elections for their
candidates. Other third parties, such as the Libertarian Party, do not
hold primaries at this time. In Texas, a voter does not need to specify
a political party when they register to vote. This is what is called an
Open Primary, which means that a voter is free to vote in either the
Republican or Democratic Primary. The Primary Election for the
Democratic Party candidates to be represented at the General Election
of November 4, 2010 will take place on March 2nd, 2010.
Important Note about United States Senate Seat
Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison has announced her plans to run
for Governor in the 2010 election. If Senator Hutchison resigns her
Senate seat, which she has stated she will do, there will be a Special
Election to fill the vacated Senate seat. There is no Primary Election
for a Special Election. We will be creating a page dedicated to the
2010 Special Election, and will update that page as more information
becomes available.
What offices will be up for re-election in 2010?
The following list are all of the offices that will be up for
re-election in Dallas County in 2010. Candidates for these offices
will appear on the ballot for the 2010 Primary Election. Candidates
who win the 2010 Democratic Primary will then be listed as the official
candidate of the Democratic Party on the ballot for the 2010 General
Election, which will take place on November 4th, 2010. If neither
candidate for an particular offices fails to achieve over 50% of the
voting results, a Runoff Election will be held between the two highest
vote-getters to determine the candidate. We will create a special
section if a Runoff Election occurs in 2010.
