Both the Republican Party of Texas and the Democratic Party of Texas have placed non-binding propositions (opinion polls/surveys) on their respective March 3, 2026, primary ballots. These are not changes to state law or the constitution—they gauge voter sentiment within each party and may help shape party platforms or future legislative priorities. The propositions are identical statewide, including in Nueces County, and appear at the end of the primary ballot
