Proposing a constitutional amendment specifying the authority of the attorney general to prosecute a criminal offense prescribed by the election laws of this state.

HJR 160 proposes a constitutional amendment to clarify that the Texas Attorney General has the authority to prosecute election law violations alongside county or district attorneys. This change directly affects election law enforcement by establishing the Attorney General as a co-prosecutor for crimes related to election laws, such as voter fraud or ballot tampering. The amendment would require voters to approve it in the November 2025 election before taking effect.
