The last day to register to vote for the Nov. 3 election is Monday in the Walker County voter registrar’s office at the county annex, 1301 Sam Houston Ave.

The county and City of Huntsville will hold a joint election Nov. 3, but the county only covers the 11 proposed amendments to the Texas Constitution.

The annex is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for voter registration.

Enacted in 1876, the Texas State Constitution has been amended more than 400 times.

Proposed constitutional amendments must pass by a two-thirds vote in both houses of the state legislature to be considered on the ballot.

The 11 amendments were approved for consideration by the 81st Legislature and require a majority vote to be amended to the constitution.

Early voting on the proposed amendments will be held from Oct. 19 through Oct. 30 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday at the county annex.

The proposed amendments include:

• Proposition 1 — “The constitutional amendment authorizing the financing, including through tax increment financing, of the acquisition by municipalities and counties of buffer areas or open spaces adjacent to a military installation for the prevention of encroachment or for the construction of roadways, utilities, or other infrastructure to protect or promote the mission of the military installation.”

• Proposition 10 — “The constitutional amendment to provide that elected members of the governing boards of emergency services districts may serve terms not to exceed four years.”

• Proposition 11 — “The constitutional amendment to prohibit the taking, damaging, or destroying of private property for public use unless the action is for the ownership, use, and enjoyment of the property by the State, a political subdivision of the State, the public at large, or entities granted the power of eminent domain under law or for the elimination of urban blight on a particular parcel of property, but not for certain economic development or enhancement of tax revenue purposes, and to limit the legislature's authority to grant the power of eminent domain to an entity.”
