Election Day for the March primaries underway
Today is Election Day for the March primaries in the Rio Grande Valley and across Texas.
Voters will decide who will be on the ballot for the general election in November.
In the primaries, you can only vote for candidates associated with your registered political party.
Some of the big races on the ballot include all three Valley congressional seats, the U.S. Senate, Texas governor and attorney general.
Multiple candidates are running on the Republican and Democratic tickets in these races.
In Cameron County, many of the polling locations are specific to either Republican or Democratic voters. The county's top election official has a message this morning before you head to the polls.
"Give yourself time in case you do inadvertently go to an opposite party polling location and if you need to be redirected you'll have time to get there," Cameron County Elections Administrator Remi Garza said. "They're pretty close, they're pretty standard locations that we use every election."
In Hidalgo County, all locations will have ballots for both registered Republicans and Democrats so that Hidalgo County voters can vote at any location.
