City of Brownsville Proposition N (Charter Amendment: Removal of Superseded and Archaic Charter Language)
What does this measure do?
Brownsville would clean up its city charter by deleting or rewriting provisions that state law has already overridden and replacing outdated wording, in every article except the Public Utilities Board's. The charter would read more clearly; no new powers, taxes, or services would change.
Proposed by: Brownsville City Commission (ordinance calling the Nov. 3, 2026 charter election)
The city's elected commission passed a city law (ordinance) calling the vote on changes to the city charter, the city's rulebook. Commissioners said their vote only lets voters decide each item.
