Early Voting has already begun and ends October 30th. IF you miss early voting, the final election day is Tuesday, November 3rd.
Every registered voter in Texas can vote for or against these proposed constitutional amendments!! If these measures pass, the Texas Constitution will be amended to add the new language and can only be changed by a subsequent constitutional amendment that passed the Texas House and Senate and then is placed on the ballot for Texas voters and is approved by a simple majority of those that cast a ballot.
That means there are very close to permanent, if they pass. The typical turnout for a Texas Constitutional Amendment election is between 10-15%.
