Turnout in primary runoff elections has historically been low, especially during midterm years. Only 8.2% of registered Texas voters cast ballots in the 2022 primary runoffs, according to the Texas secretary of state.
Domestic mail-in ballots turned in and postmarked by election day are counted if received by the county by 5 p.m. on May 27. Mail-in ballots from military and overseas voters must be postmarked by election day and received by June 1. When races are close, mail-in voting can influence the results and extend the time it takes to call races. The certification of final election results will be completed and released by the Secretary of State on June 10.
