Texans will decide eight proposed amendments to the state Constitution on Nov. 2

Texas voters can soon weigh in on potential changes to the state’s Constitution regarding religious services, eligibility requirements for judges, county infrastructure and more.

Election day is Nov. 2, and early voting begins Oct. 18 and lasts until Oct. 29.

In 2017, Texas voters approved all seven amendments on the ballot; in 2019, voters greenlit nine out of 10 proposed changes.

There are no state elected seats on the ballot this November. Certain local elections may have area-specific positions and initiatives on the ballot, such as school board officials and city council members.

No line.

Finding a place to park took a little creative strategy, but it was not bad.
