	s a Primary Election? A primary election is an election used either to nar
	row the field of candidates for a given elective office or to determine th
	e nominees for political parties in advance of a general election. In a pa
	rtisan primary\, voters select a candidate to be a political party's nomin
	ee for a given office in the corresponding general election. Why are Prima
	ry Elections Important? In Texas\, November elections are typically won du
	ring the primary in March. Our voting districts are pretty regular in poli
	tical leanings\; meaning\, the primary elections are the battlegrounds...a
	lmost every time! If you want your voice to be heard then you need to show
	 up in March\; otherwise\, you are letting 2 million people (about 9% of t
	he Voting Age Population) make the decision for you. How is the Primary El
	ection Different? You don’t have to be a party member to vote in the prima
	ry election\; however\, you do have to choose only one party in which to p
	articipate. During the general election in November\, you may vote on one 
	ballot and choose between anyone that is listed\, regardless of the candid
	ate's political party. Important Dates: Last day to register to vote for t
	he March 3\, 2020 election is Feburary 3\, 2020. Election day is March 3\,
	 2020\, from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM in both Collin County and Denton County. E
	arly voting runs from February 18\, 2020\, to February 28\, 2020.
