2026 Texas Midterm Elections Early Voting Data
With early voting complete, Ryan Data & Research reports that about 7.7 million Texans have participated in the 2026 midterm election so far. That’s roughly 40% of registered voters.
For context, more Texans voted early this year than voted in the entire 2014 midterm, though Texas now has about 5 million more registered voters. Early voting this year also came within about 370,000 votes of the full 2022 total.
At the end of early voting, about 60% of registered Texans hadn't participated. That leaves millions of people with an opportunity to vote tomorrow, and an opportunity for you to help your network show up!
