In March of even-numbered years, Ellis County voters go to the polls to cast their votes for candidates to appear on the general election ballot in November. With nearly 65% of Ellis County voters voting for President Trump in 2024, the primary often decides who will represent them. In 2024 fewer than 11% of the registered voters cast a ballot in the primary (both parties). The filing period for candidates running for Precinct Chairs opened on September 9, 2025. Other positions will begin filing on November 8, 2025 with the window closing at 6pm on December 8, 2025 for all 2026 Republican primary candidates. Early Voting begins on Tuesday, February 17, 2026  with Primary Election Day on Tuesday March 3, 2026.

Join your fellow Ellis County Republicans (and perhaps a few “soon to be Republicans”) on NOVEMBER 6TH FROM 6pm TO 9pm at UNION 28 in MIDLOTHIAN. You will be able to meet and mingle with many of the candidates who will be asking for your vote in March. Don’t miss this opportunity to demonstrate that, while Republicans don’t vote in lockstep, we are united when it counts.

Please note that all candidates who will be on the Republican primary ballot are welcome. This includes  Statewide and Federal candidates.
