The local canvass of election-results from the 3/3/26 primary happened at 10am on March 12th 2026, at 706A East Goode Street, Quitman TX, and was open to candidates and other interested persons. The statewide canvass was March 14th 2026 in Austin, see TexasGOP.org for all the details.

For information about voting in the Republican runoff (early voting begins May 18th and election day is May 26th 2026 this cycle), please see the homepage.

Republicans registered to vote within the boundaries of Wood County Texas are most cordially invited to attend the Wood County Republican Precinct Conventions, and the Wood County Republicans County Convention, both held on Saturday March 28th of 2026.

Please submit suggested convention-resolutions to GopResolutions@gmail.com — whether for platform, prioriites, rules-proposals, convention-censures, and so on — as SOON as you reasonably can. This ought to help the conventions go more smoothly. (Note: you do NOT have to live in the county, to suggest your resolution for delegate-consideration. If you have an amazing idea to save America and/or to help Make Texas Great Again, we welcome your thoughts.)

Here are the 100+ submissions we have seen so far (XLSX spreadsheet download).

WCRP Precinct-Conventions will be held March 28th. Check-in at 8:30am, convene at 9am, Carroll Green Civic Ctr, 602 McAllister St, Quitman TX. If you have an awesome idea to help save America, write it down and bring it with you, we’ll vote on it. (For inspiration, look at TexasGOP.org/priorities + 2024 RPT Platform + 2024/2025 RPT Rules on that site. If you see anything missing, you can add it, if you see anything that needs fixing you can change it, and if you see anything that does NOT belong you can propose removing it or replacing it.) We will vote that morning, as well, on who we elect to attend county-convention later that afternoon.

WCRP County-Convention, same location, same day, March 28th. Those elected that morning to attend county-convention: check-in at 1:30pm, convene at 2pm. Vote on ideas & people to send to state-convention, Houston, June 11th-13th which are the days when general-session-voting and Senatorial-district-caucus-voting will commence. However, much of the real action is deep in the weeds just prior to the three days of voting that culminate the state convention. Temporary-committees will begin their in-person meetings about mid-morning of Monday the 8th, and some of them will be meeting electronically starting approximately the mid-May timeframe: priorities, rules, platform, etc.

p.s. Well worth repeating: Republican Primary Election, March 3rd, 2026

Why should you vote in the upcoming

March 3, 2026 Primary Election?

You should vote in a primary election because it’s your shot to pick the candidates who’ll represent your views in the general election—before the options get locked in. Primaries decide who carries your party’s flag, and since turnout’s usually low (often 20% or less of registered voters), your vote packs a bigger punch than in November.

It’s also where real ideological battles happen. If you care about steering your party, whether toward pragmatism, principle, or something else, primaries are your leverage. Plus, in places like our Texas House District 5, where the general election is a Republican lock, the primary is the real contest.  Our current representative’s 2024 primary win over two challengers basically sealed his seat.

Not voting in the primary?

You’re sitting out the whole game.
