City of Austin and Austin ISD races only; other Travis County cities and school districts are not yet listed. Austin names are shown as they will appear on the ballot, except District 5, where the City Clerk's page did not show ballot names; for those four candidates the filed names are shown (Farrah L. Abraham, Ryan J. Alter, Elizabeth M. Brink, David M. Weinberg). The City Clerk lists candidates alphabetically, not in ballot order.
Copied from the Secretary of State's official ballot certification for this county: courts of appeals, district courts, district attorneys, county offices and precinct offices. Party labels: R = Republican, D = Democratic, L = Libertarian, G = Green, Ind. = Independent. Party nominees were chosen in the March 3 primary and May 26 runoff.
