01 / ALL 254 TEXAS COUNTIES

County Time Machine

Choose a reporting year or compare the change in registered voters between two November reports.

OFFICIAL NOVEMBER REGISTRATION

Choropleth is based on registered voters, not party preference, electoral outcomes, population-adjusted participation or county precinct boundaries. Color intensity uses a common scale for all selected counties within the current view. The map uses Census cartographic counties.

02 / TEXAS LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ARCHIVED RETURNS

Historical Candidate Margins

County-level two-party vote share, sourced from the Legislative Council’s standardized voter-tabulation-district files. These are derived county aggregates, not certified canvass totals.

Map colors indicate relative two-party vote margin (R vs D), not a forecast or current election result. Swing is 2024 minus 2020 Democratic two-party share, in percentage points. Minor-party votes are excluded from the two-party denominator. Legislative Council figures may differ from certified canvasses.

02 / GENERAL ELECTION PARTICIPATION

Statewide Turnout

Only completed general elections are shown. Presidential and gubernatorial years are different election types.

Methodology: Change = (ending-year registration − starting-year registration) ÷ starting-year registration × 100. A comparison between a midterm, presidential and pre-election registration report is registration change only, not turnout change, vote share or election prediction. Source corrections may occur; consult linked official records.
