City of Brownsville Proposition M (Charter Amendment: Citizen Referendum Process)
Brownsville city, Texas
My vote power: High
What does this measure do?
Brownsville voters could force a public vote on a new city law before it takes effect by gathering signatures from 10% of registered voters. Residents would gain a way to block new city laws they oppose, and a law voters approve could not be changed for six months.
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.
