During the primary, voters will select the Democratic and Republican party nominees who will then appear on the November 2026 general election.

Early voting in Harris County begins Monday, Oct. 20, and runs through Friday, Oct. 31, giving residents nearly two weeks to cast their ballots ahead of Election Day on Nov. 4.

Six Republicans and three Democrats have already filed for Harris County judge, in addition to one independent candidate who is actively campaigning on social media.

Democrats have a chance at overperforming in the Tennessee special election after Harris attended a canvassing event last month.
