What's on the Ballot
Tuesday, May 26, 2026 is a Runoff Election for the primary. The runoff is for races in which no candidate received a majority (50% + 1) in the March Primary election. The top two candidates have advanced to the runoff, and you’ll vote for the candidate you’d like to represent your party (Democrat or Republican) in the General Election. The winners from this election will advance to the General Election in November 2026.
In San Antonio, you’ll choose a Democratic or Republican ballot to select your preferred candidates. The races that appear on your ballot will depend on the party ballot you choose. If you voted in the primary, you must choose the same party ballot you chose for the primary. If you did not vote in the primary, you can choose either ballot in the runoff.
To see your individual sample ballot, enter your voting information on Bexar County’s elections website.
