On November 3, 2026, Lubbock County completed its election night reporting with every polling location submitting results. The unofficial tallies, pending final certification, show a fully counted vote across federal, state and local contests, reflecting the community’s commitment to civic duty.
Federal and State Races
For West Texas representation, the U.S. Representative for District 19 and the State Senator for District 28 both reported 100% of precincts reporting. Likewise, the State Representative races for Districts 83 and 84 reached full reporting, giving voters a clear picture of their choices for the next legislative session.
Judicial Elections
The 7th Court of Appeals saw two positions run unopposed: the Chief Justice seat and the Justice, Place 2 (unexpired term). Both races were reported from every polling place, underscoring the confidence the legal community has in these incumbents.
Lubbock County Offices
Every county office listed on the ballot was reported from all precincts. The County Clerk, County Judge, District Judges for the 137th, 237th and 364th Judicial Districts, and the Criminal District Attorney all ran unopposed and were confirmed with 100% reporting. The County Treasurer, District Clerk, and all County Commissioners (Precincts 2 and 4) also faced no opposition, allowing for a swift certification process.
Justice of the Peace and Local Judges
Justice of the Peace positions for Precincts 1, 2, 3 and 4 were all unopposed, as were the judges for County Courts at Law No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3. These results, reported from every polling place, demonstrate a stable local judiciary that the community trusts.
Special District and School‑Related Measures
The Lubbock‑Cooper Independent School District’s VATRE Proposition A received full reporting, confirming voter participation in a measure that directly impacts local education funding. Additionally, the Lubbock Central Appraisal District elected directors at large (Places 1‑3) and precinct directors (Precincts 1 and 4), all with complete vote counts.
What This Means for Lubbock Residents
Full precinct reporting means Lubbock County can move quickly toward official certification, providing certainty for voters and candidates alike. The prevalence of unopposed races suggests strong community satisfaction with current officeholders, reducing the need for costly campaign battles and allowing elected officials to focus on serving their constituents.
Looking Ahead
While the results are unofficial, the thoroughness of the reporting process reflects a well‑run election system that upholds the values of personal liberty and responsible governance. Residents can expect the County Clerk’s office to finalize the certification in the coming weeks, after which the newly elected officials will begin their terms.
For those interested in detailed vote totals or to verify the certification timeline, the Lubbock County Elections Department will post official results on its website once the canvass is complete.
