97% of Texas House seats were decided in the 2022 Primaries Not in November
Why this matters now
In Texas, many races are effectively decided in the March primary.
Helping people feel ready earlier creates stronger participation and more representative outcomes later.
Small actions, shared through trusted networks, make a real difference.
WHY DON’T PEOPLE VOTE?
Primary candidates receive less media coverage, making it harder to find information about candidates.
Lack of Information
01
Most Texans don't realize primaries decide who represents them. They think November is what matters.
Lack of Awareness
02
There's cultural expectation to vote in November, but primaries don't get the same attention.
Less Social Pressure
03
WHY You should vote
Primaries Decide 90%+ of Races
Most Texas state house and senate members are decided in the primary, not the general election.
Your Vote Counts More
Most Texans don't realize primaries decide who represents them. They think November is what matters.
You Choose Who Represents You
Primaries let you decide which candidates appear on the November ballot—before the choice is made for you.
