Special Texas elections face light turnout and pay raises
About 10 percent of Texas voters were expected to vote in the shortest ballot since 1923 amid two general propositions on legislative pay raises and higher retirement fund contributions. Turnout was projected around 500,000 of 5 million eligible voters, with costs estimated at about $1.5 million to counties. Governor Briscoe sought emergency funds to refund five cents per registered voter, potentially $250,000 statewide, easing election costs. The pay package would boost legislators’ salaries and per diem, totaling about $9,300 yearly over two years, plus office allowances up to $4,000 monthly for House members and $5,500 for senators.
