Come November, Texas voters will decide 17 proposed amendments to the state constitution.

Only lawmakers can place amendments on the ballot in Texas. Each proposal must clear both the House and Senate with a two-thirds vote before going to voters. Once on the ballot, a measure needs only a simple majority to pass.

Early voting runs from Monday, Oct. 20 through Friday Oct. 31. Texas voters can check their registration status here .
