Early voting begins Monday, October 19, and Lubbock County voters will decide races for federal and statewide offices. The Lubbock Chronicle has organized the candidates into office-by-office guides so readers can review the ballot before heading to the polls.
Federal offices: U.S. Senate and U.S. House candidates. See the federal candidates on the ballot.
Statewide offices: Candidates for governor and other statewide elected offices. See the statewide candidates on the ballot.
Our guides identify the candidates running in contested races. We have omitted uncontested races from these summaries.
Find your ballot: Download the Lubbock Chronicle sample ballot. The Chronicle-created sample ballot is a reader resource, not an official ballot. Your ballot depends on your voting precinct.
