Though you can vote in either party's primary election, election law states you have to stick with that party when you vote in the runoff.

There are two Democratic and three Republican races on Bexar County ballots that will be determined during the May 28 runoff.

Because the state operates under open primaries, voters can choose which party’s primary they’d like to vote in. According to Texas election laws, however,“A person who is affiliated with a political party is ineligible to become affiliated with another political party during the same voting year,” theIf a voter does attempt to switch parties and cast a ballot in the runoff, that vote would be voided, according to the laws.

Voters who did not cast a ballot during the primary would be deemed unaffiliated with either political party. Because of that, they can choose to vote in either party’s runoff, even though they did not vote during the initial primary.hereImportant dates for the May 28 Runoff Primary Election:May 17 Last day to apply for ballot by mail May 28 Runoff Primary Election DayJulie Moreno has worked in local television news for more than 25 years.
