Statewide ballot amendments and ballot scratching explained
Voters will face eight constitutional amendments on the general election ballot with a ninth added via a special election on Nov 13.

Ballot scratching is legal and allows voters to vote for some candidates while crossing out others. The NAACP ban is under court review amid a dispute over submerged land with Xaci owners and a Texas Supreme Court ruling.
