Proposing a constitutional amendment clarifying that a qualified voter in this state must be a United States citizen.
SJR 28 proposes a constitutional amendment requiring all qualified voters in Texas elections to be U.S. citizens. It would amend the Texas Constitution to explicitly state that only U.S. citizens who are Texas residents can be considered qualified voters for state elections. This clarification applies to all voting eligibility under Texas election law, including primary and general elections. The amendment would be submitted to Texas voters in the November 4, 2025 election if approved by the legislature.
