Texans who participate in this year’s elections, including the one on Saturday, could experience one or more of the following:

• Skepticism about the integrity of elections.
• Difficulties related to one of the nation’s strictest voting laws.
• A slew of expensive, divisive campaign ads for seats in normally sleepy races.

Beyond Saturday, 2022 elections include the May 24 primary runoffs and the Nov. 8 midterm general election.

As these consequential elections approach and unfold, The Texas Tribune and ProPublica want to hear from voters about any threats to their democracy that they see. Are you an election worker facing intimidation? Are you a voter encountering hurdles to casting your ballot? Are there any outside people, groups or organizations exerting undue influence over elections in your community?

We appreciate you sharing your story, and we take your privacy seriously. We are gathering these stories for the purposes of our reporting, and we will contact you if we wish to publish any part of your story.
