In March, Texas voters cast their ballots in the primary election. But not every race had a clear winner. While we know, for example, who the candidates will be for the governor's race in November, several other matchups await the results of a runoff election.

Voters will cast ballots in the runoff for the following races:

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR - DEMOCRAT

  • MICHELLE BECKLEY
  • MIKE COLLIER

ATTORNEY GENERAL - REPUBLICAN

  • KEN PAXTON
  • GEORGE P. BUSH

ATTORNEY GENERAL - DEMOCRAT

  • JOE JAWORSKI
  • ROCHELLE MERCEDES GARZA

COMMISSIONER OF THE GENERAL LAND OFFICE - REPUBLICAN

  • DAWN BUCKINGHAM
  • TIM WESTLEY

COMMISSIONER OF THE GENERAL LAND OFFICE - DEMOCRAT

  • JAY KLEBERG
  • SANDRAGRACE MARTINEZ

RAILROAD COMMISSIONER - REPUBLICAN

  • WAYNE CHRISTIAN
  • SARAH STOGNER

COMPTROLLER OF PUBLIC ACCOUNTS - DEMOCRATIC

  • JANET T. DUDDING
  • ANGEL LUIS VEGA

Depending on whether you are voting as a Republican, Democrat or Independent, different voting options will be available. If you're voting as a Republican or Democrat, you will only see the candidates in those parties with the winner going on to challenge the nominee from the opposing party. 

Polls are open from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 24.
