Texas House of Representatives elections, 2012
|
|
Texas House of Representatives will consist of a Primary Election on May 29, 2012 and a General Election on November 6, 2012. The Primary Runoff Election will take place on July 31, 2012.[1]
The signature-filing deadline for candidates wishing to run in these elections was March 9, 2012.[2]
* Redistricting note: Due to legal turmoil in the redistricting process, filing deadlines have changed twice and primary have changed once. The original filing deadline was December 12th.[3] That deadline was then moved to December 15th by a federal court due to delays caused by redistricting legal challenges. After the US Supreme Court intervened over the constitutionality of interim maps, the current December 19th deadline was set to allow candidates more time in filing in light of the delays. However, the filing period will be re-opened once a final map is chosen. The original primary date was March 6, 2012 and the original primary runoff date was set for May 22, 2012.
