The resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to the Texas Constitution that would explicitly include individuals who are not United States citizens among the classes of persons prohibited from voting in the state. This amendment seeks to revise Section 1(a) of Article VI, which currently lists other disqualifications such as age, mental incompetence, and felony convictions. The addition of non-citizens to this list aims to clarify voting eligibility requirements in Texas.
If approved, this amendment will be presented to voters during the election scheduled for November 4, 2025. The ballot will include a proposition allowing voters to express their support or opposition to the amendment, which seeks to reinforce the principle that only U.S. citizens are eligible to participate in elections within the state.
