Texas’ Nov. 5, 2024, general election ballot will feature four presidential candidates and their running mates. They are:

• Kamala Harris / Tim Walz (D)
• Donald Trump / J.D. Vance (R)
• Jill Stein / Butch Ware (G)
• Chase Oliver / Mike ter Maat (L)

This is the same number of candidates on Texas’ presidential ballot as in each election held since 2012. In 2020, Texas’ ballot had four candidates: Joe Biden (D), Trump, Jo Jorgensen (L), and Howie Hawkins (G). Trump won Texas that year with 52.1% of the vote, followed by Biden with 46.5%, Jorgensen with 1.1%, and Hawkins with 0.3%.

As of Oct. 28, The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, and Sabato’s Crystal Ball all rated the state as likely Republican. Texas was carried by the Republican presidential candidate in every election between 1980 and 2020; the last Democrat to carry the state was in 1976. 

Texas has 40 electoral votes, the 2nd most electoral votes of all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Texas gained two electoral votes following the 2020 census.

Texas’ general election ballot will also feature elections for the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, a special Congressional election, and state executive offices, among others.
