Early voting in Texas for the 2024 election got off to a hot start Monday, with more than 840,000 people casting their ballots in person statewide. Preliminary data from the Texas Secretary of State's office shows that 843,130 people voted early on Monday, which comes out to over 4.5% of registered voters.

Democrats in Texas will once again wait on Election Day to find out whether this is the year they can win a statewide race after three decades of losing to Republicans.

Along with voting for the next president, eligible Texans can vote for other officials running on the local, state, and federal levels.
