ELLIS COUNTY – The Republican Party of Texas has announced 10 GOP propositions that will appear on the March 3, 2026, Republican Primary Election ballot.
These items were approved as of Sept, 6 by the State Republican Executive Committee in a 59-3 vote with two members absent from voting.
Each of the 10 items will require a yes or no answer on the ballot and are non-binding ballot propositions to be used to determine voters’ support for each issue.
