Election News

The Election Cycle each year includes many important State and Local elections and in most years Federal choices as well. This page is designed to keep you up to date on the latest election news.

The latest Election Day was Tuesday, November 4, 2025. This election mainly featured 17 proposed amendments to the Texas State Constitution. Some voters may have had other things to vote on depending on where they lived at the time.

Results of November 4th Election

The unofficial results show that all 17 constitutional amendments passed this year. Most passed by a comfortable margin (more than 2 to 1 in favor). Here are some highlights:

Proposition 10 (providing a property tax exemption to those whose homes were completely destroyed in a fire) received almost 90% “Yes” votes.

Proposition 7 (providing a property tax exemption to surviving spouses of veterans) received the second highest number of “Yes” votes with about 86%.

Proposition 6 (prohibiting the legislature from enacting a law to tax certain entities relating to security transactions) received the fewest “Yes” votes at 56%.

Proposition 17 (providing a property tax exemption to property owners adjacent to the Mexican border for construction of border security related infrastructure, like walls/fences) received the next fewest “Yes” votes at 57%.

Proposition 15 (the amendments affirming that parents are the primary decision makers for their children) only received 70% “Yes” votes. That means 30% of Texans believe some other entity (school, government or other persons) should have that primary right.

And finally Proposition 16 (the amendment clarifying that voters must be U.S. Citizens) only received 72% “Yes” votes. Sadly that means that 28% of Texans believe non-citizens should be able to vote in our elections.

If you voted in the election, thank you for taking part. Statewide, only about 1 in 7 people voted or about 14%. That is pretty typical for this type of election, but still disappointing.
