Early voting for the November 2nd Texas Constitutional Amendment Election begins October 18th and runs through October 29th. There are eight amendments to the Texas Constitution that will be on every Texas voter’s ballot and there may be local elections and ballot measures you can weigh in on also. This is the time to start researching your vote. TEV partner extraordinaire, The League of Women Voters of Texas, has put together a wealth of resources to help you do just that!
