Voter turnout in several areas of Greater Houston during the March primaries set a new record for a nonpresidential election year, with many Texans going to the polls for the first time. With March elections concluded, some voters might be wondering what happens next.

In many cases, the primaries are not over. In order to win a primary election and represent the Democratic or Republican party in November elections, a candidate must receive more than 50 percent of the vote.

After the March 6 primary elections, Montgomery County residents will see two runoff elections for precincts 2 and 4 as incumbents Charlie Riley and Jim Clark face Greg Parker and James Metts, respectively.

If you did not vote in the March 6 primary elections, you can still vote in the May 22 elections. If you voted in the March 6 primary elections, you must vote with the same party in the May 22 runoff elections.

Early voting for the May 22 primary runoff election runs May 14-18. The last day to register to vote in that election is April 23.
