Good morning, 

With the primary elections in the rear-view mirror, we take a look at the next statewide elections on the horizon: the runoffs.

Here is the Texas Minute for Monday, March 7, 2022.

– Brandon Waltens

• Last week on Tuesday March 1, Texans took to the polls to vote in their party's primary election. 
   
• In order to win a party's nomination and continue to the November general election, however, candidates must receive a majority of the vote, or "50% plus one."
   
• While many races such as governor, comptroller, and agriculture commissioner were decided in the first round of voting, voters across the state will have their opportunity on May 24 to cast their votes again to determine who will be on the ballot in November.
