Texas Democrats Hit Long Lines and Tech Problems in 2022's First Primary

You can vote in only one party's primary in a specific election. For example, I voted in the Democratic primary, so I am not eligible to also vote in the Republican primary this same election cycle. However, I could vote in the Republican primary next cyce, so it's open in that sense. We don't have party registration in Texas. You just tell the poll worker which party's ballot you want.

In my county, you just get a printed ballot that is specific to one party or the other, and the same machine processes either party's ballots. But I'm in a solidly red county, so they make it pretty easy here.
