Ballotpedia Updates Coryell County Election Page Ahead of March 3 Primary

Ballotpedia refreshed its Coryell County, Texas elections page for 2026, consolidating local races, candidate information and the March 3 primary calendar and linking to a sample ballot tool; the site also warns, "These pages do not provide election results. Contact your local election office to find results." That consolidation gives voters a single reference for which county and judicial offices appear on the March 3, 2026 ballot.

Coryell County election logistics remain anchored to the county tax office schedule: early voting runs February 17–27, 2026 with hours of 8 a.m.–5 p.m. on Feb. 17–20, 7 a.m.–7 p.m. on Feb. 21 and Feb. 23–27, and 11 a.m.–5 p.m. on Feb. 22. Early voting centers listed by the Coryell County Tax Office are Copperas Cove Early Voting Center at 809 S. Main St., Copperas Cove, TX 76522, and the Gatesville Annex at 800 E. Main St., Ste B, Gatesville, TX 76528. Election Day polling hours are 7 a.m.–7 p.m. on March 3, and the tax office states these will operate as county-wide vote centers where "you may vote at any location regardless of the precinct where you live."

Local reporting from Cove Leader-Press and KDH News lists the contested county races on the Republican primary ballot. The county judge contest names Rob Erwin, incumbent Roger Miller, and Latisha Walton. Commissioner Precinct 2 is a four-way field of Tully Meyer, Tiffany Butler, incumbent Scott Weddle, and Fahron Nolte. Commissioner Precinct 4 lists Ray Ashby, incumbent Keith Taylor, Justin Smith (also reported as Justin D. Smith), and Carroll Starkey (also reported as Carroll L. Starkey); the precinct 4 name variants should be checked against official filings. KDH News summarized the local landscape by noting, "Several Republican-controlled seats in Coryell County are up for grabs in the March 3 primary."

Other county contests reported by local outlets include Justice of the Peace Precinct 2, where F. W. "Bill" Price (incumbent) faces Joey Acfalle, and District Clerk, where Becky Moore (incumbent) faces Lisa Robuck. Ballotpedia's county page additionally lists Coryell County Clerk, Coryell County Constable Precinct 4, Justice of the Peace Precincts 1, 3 and 4, Coryell County Treasurer, Coryell County Court at Law and the Texas 440th District Court on the March 3 ballot while not attaching candidate names for those offices in the excerpted content.

Voter deadlines and runoff rules are concrete and immediate: Cove Leader-Press notes "The voter registration deadline for the March 3 Primary Election is Monday, Feb. 2," consistent with Texas law requiring registration 30 days before Election Day. KDH News restated the runoff rule: "In the event that one candidate does not receive at least 50% plus-one majority of the votes in any race with more than two candidates, there will be a runoff for that position later in the spring."

Local voter outreach has included candidate forums and a GOP panel. Cove Leader-Press listed candidate forums for Saturday, Feb. 7, 2026 at 10 a.m. at 1802 MLK Jr. Dr., Copperas Cove, and Monday, Feb. 9, 2026 at 6 p.m. at the Gatesville Civic Center. The paper also printed a listing for a Coryell County Republican Women Club panel as "Saturday, Jan. 314, at 9:30 a.m., at 1802 MLK Jr. Dr. in Copperas Cove"; that "Jan. 314" entry is a typographical error in the printed copy and organizers or the venue should be consulted for the correct date and time.

Operational details to watch on election night: the Coryell County Tax Office already lists files labeled "03-03-2026 Unofficial Results," "03-03-2026 Unofficial Precinct Results" and "03-03-2026 Unofficial Reconciliation" among its election documents, indicating the county site will post unofficial returns after polls close. For courthouse business or election administration questions, the Coryell County Courthouse is listed at 620 E Main St., Gatesville, TX 76528 and the county phone number appears as (254) 865-5911. Ballotpedia remains a centralized ballot-and-candidate reference, but local election offices will be the source for vote totals and unofficial results after March 3.
