On March 5, El Paso voters will cast their ballots in the Democratic and Republican primary elections to decide who will move forward to the November general election.
On the local level, voters will select party candidates for El Paso district attorney, county sheriff, county attorney, county commissioners and a slew of judgeships and constables, among others.
On the federal and state levels, ballots will feature candidates for president, senators, U.S. representatives and state representatives.
Candidates who win their party’s race will be on the November ballot; although those with no contestant in another party will be considered to have won their seat unless a runoff is necessary. The primary runoff election will be in May.
Produced by El Paso Matters, a nonprofit online news organization, this guide allows voters to compare candidates according to their positions on key issues in each race.
All candidates in local contested races were invited to respond, and candidates who didn’t respond are noted. The guide will be published online on Feb. 17.
Uncontested races are not included in this guide, but you can view a list of them HERE.
