Early voting began Monday, October 20 and continues through Friday, October 31 in the November 4 election. Among the decisions voters will tackle are nineteen proposed amendments to the Texas Constitution.
The League of Women Voters of Texas has published a Guide to Voters which provides the text of each of the proposed 17 Constitutional Amendments, along with a simple explanation of what it means and brief arguments both for and against each proposition.
To help inform your vote you may access one of digital versions of the Voters Guide in both English and Spanish online at https://alwv.clubexpress.com/content.aspx?page_id=22&club_id=30364&module_id=562715
The League of Women Voters of Texas has also created explainer videos about each of the proposed amendments. You can find those videos here:
