The proposed joint resolution seeks to amend the Texas Constitution to clarify the authority of the Attorney General in prosecuting criminal offenses related to the state's election laws. Specifically, it introduces a new provision that grants the Attorney General concurrent jurisdiction with county or district attorneys to represent the state in such prosecutions. This amendment aims to enhance the enforcement of election laws by allowing the Attorney General to take action alongside local prosecutors.

If approved, this constitutional amendment will be presented to voters in an election scheduled for May 2, 2026. The ballot will include a proposition for voters to express their support or opposition to the amendment, which is framed as specifying the Attorney General's prosecutorial authority concerning election law violations in Texas.
