🗳️Texas Special Election Filing Dates and Requirements
Texas has scheduled a special election on November 4, 2025, to fill the U.S. House of Representatives seat in the 18th Congressional District held by the late Representative Sylvester Turner. There are two possible elections, but only one may be necessary. Under Texas law, all qualified candidates, regardless of party affiliation, will appear on the ballot.
