🗳️ What’s On the Ballot?

Democrats on the ballot in Leander and Cedar Park for the midterm election on Tuesday, November 3, 2026.

Our area spans Williamson and Travis counties and several districts, so not every candidate below will appear on your ballot. Your address determines your exact ballot, so look yours up before you vote. Races marked (Uncontested) below have no opponent on the November ballot.

The county maps show your precinct and districts. On the Williamson map, switch on the Address layer first, or an address search returns nothing. For the races on your own ballot, use See Your Sample Ballot & Voter Info.
