What is on the ballot

Statewide: governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, comptroller, land commissioner, agriculture commissioner, railroad commissioner and seats on the state's high courts, plus one U.S. Senate seat. Every U.S. House seat is on the ballot under the congressional map adopted in 2025; check your district, since some Parker County voters were moved. Texas House seats and the state Senate seats up this cycle are on the ballot as well.

County: in gubernatorial election years Texas counties elect the county judge, district clerk, county clerk and county treasurer, the commissioners for precincts 2 and 4, and justices of the peace and constables. Any local propositions from cities, the school district or special districts would appear at the bottom of the ballot. The Ledger will post the Parker County sample ballot here when the county publishes it.
