Texans are voting in a statewide constitutional amendment election on November 4, 2025. In addition, there are local and congressional races on the ballot in some areas. Here’s a concise snapshot of what’s on the Texas ballot and where to find details:
- Statewide constitutional amendments: 17 propositions are on the ballot. These cover a range of topics from parental rights and voter eligibility to water infrastructure and judicial oversight, among others. Each proposition is a proposed amendment to the Texas Constitution and requires voter approval to pass. For the exact text and summary of each proposition, you can consult the Texas Secretary of State’s ballot language and explanatory statements, which list each proposition and its purpose.
