Democratic Ballot versus Republican Ballot.

May 19th, 2022 by Joe Burgess

When you enter early voting or an election site, the poll worker will ask you which ballot you want. You must tell them

Democratic ballot, which has the contested District 94 state representatives race on it;

Republican ballot, which includes the county judge and county clerks races; or

Nonpartisan ballot, which contains only judicial and school board races. (The judicial and school board races {where contested} will be on all ballots.)

Basically, you cannot vote on both ballots. It’s the law.
