Let the People Decide: Support Ballot Initiatives in Texas

Let the People Decide: Support Ballot Initiatives in Texas

The Issue

We want the right to place issues on the ballot when they have strong citizen support.

Texans take pride in independence, freedom, and the power to shape our own future. Yet unlike citizens in many other states, Texans currently lack the ability to place laws or constitutional amendments directly on the statewide ballot through citizen initiatives.

When enough Texans unite behind an idea, we should have the right to bring it directly to a vote of the people. A statewide ballot initiative process would empower everyday citizens, not just politicians or special interests, to propose solutions, address urgent needs, and hold government accountable.

This is not about partisan politics. It is about empowering Texans, strengthening our democracy, and giving “We the People” a true say in the direction of our state. By adopting a statewide ballot initiative process, Texas can ensure government remains of the people, by the people, and for the people.

We know this petition alone will not change the law, but it is a crucial first step in raising awareness and showing lawmakers that Texans demand this right. With enough support, we can make our voices heard and push our leaders to act.

Let’s stand together for the right of Texans to vote on the issues that matter to us. Sign today to support citizen-driven democracy in Texas!
