Proposing a constitutional amendment authorizing certain persons under the age of 18 to vote in a primary election.

SJR 29 proposes a constitutional amendment allowing 17-year-olds who will turn 18 by the date of the next general election to vote in primary elections, provided they meet other standard voting requirements. The amendment would require the Texas legislature to pass specific laws implementing this change, but the bill itself does not create the voting rules. The proposed amendment must be approved by voters in the November 4, 2025, election, with the ballot phrased to ask: "The constitutional amendment authorizing a person who will be 18 years of age or older on the date of the general election for state and county officers to vote in the preceding primary election." This is a procedural resolution seeking voter approval for a constitutional change, not an enacted law.
