Texas special congressional election Turner ballot measures.

Texans will vote on a large menu of constitutional amendments Tuesday. Some Houston voters are also filling a vacant seat in the 18th Congressional District, after the death of Congressman Sylvester Turner. Voters statewide will check off whether they are “for” or “against” 17 ballot questions on issues including judicial conduct, changes to the bail system and state taxes. Some questions reflect Republicans’ national political priorities. Proposition 15 affirms that parents are the primary decision makers for their children, and Proposition 16 clarifies that a voter must be a United States citizen, though it is already illegal for people who are not U.S. citizens to vote in federal elections.
