Early Voting is Underway, What's on the Ballot?


Early voting for the March 2020 primaries has kicked off today in Eagle Pass, Maverick County and all throughout Texas.


Voters will have the opportunity to exercise their right to vote from February 18 to 28 prior to election day scheduled for March 3, 2020. Maverick County voters are to cast their vote at the Multi-Purpose Center located at 480 S. Adams St, from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.

Voting is underway for both the Democratic and Republican primaries, however, the voter has to choose which party's ballot they want to participate in. It is not allowed to vote in both the Republican and Democratic primaries in the same election.


Increase in voter turnout is expected since the election dragged a large number of local candidates. Also, 2020 is election year for the next President of the United States, therefore, voter turnout is expected to increase dramatically.

Other important contested State of Texas races are U.S. Senator where Senator Cornyn is looking to get re-elected, Texas Supreme Court Justices, Judges for Texas Court of Appeals, Texas Supreme Court Judges, Railroad Commissioner and Texas State Board of Education among others.
