What to know about the 18 Dallas charter amendments on the ballot

DALLAS — Early voting begins today and if you’re planning to vote in Dallas, you’ll notice a slate of 18 city charter amendment propositions on the ballot. Here’s what you need to know about early voting.

Dallas is required to consider changes to its charter, which defines how the city is governed. Once the city council votes on the proposed amendments, they’re put on a November ballot for voters to consider. Dallas began its charter review process last summer.

Attorney and former state Rep. Allen Vaught was named chair of the city’s charter review commission, which had 14 other members, including former city council member Adam Medrano serving as vice chair.

The 18 charter amendments on the ballot this year include 14 from the city council and four from resident petitions.
