In 2018, the last midterm election year, 10% of the state’s then-15.2 million registered voters turned out for the Republican primary. The Democratic primary saw 7% turnout among those registered. In the general election that year, 53% of registered voters turned out.
Turnout and registration swelled ahead of the 2020 presidential election, when 12% of registered voters turned out in the GOP primary and 13% turned out in the Democratic primary. Texas surpassed 16 million registered voters that cycle. In the November 2020 election, 67% of registered voters turned out – a seven point jump from the previous presidential contest in 2016. Turnout in the 2016 Republican and Democratic primaries was 20% and 10%, respectively.
About 10% of registered voters turned out in the GOP primary in 2014, another midterm election year. That’s compared with 4% in the Democratic primary. In the general election, 34% of registered voters turned out. Texans do not register to vote by party. They simply register and can choose which primary to vote in. But they can only vote in a runoff of the party primary they chose to vote in; they cannot crossover and vote in a different party’s runoff..
