 EARLY VOTING LOCATIONS IN NUECES

Referendums on Primary Ballot

English

  • Any graduate of a Texas high school, who has lived in the state for at least three (3) years and lived here continuously for the last year, should be eligible for in-state tuition at state supported colleges and universities and given the opportunity to earn legal status through a higher education or military service.

For or Against

  • Because a college education is increasingly necessary for jobs that allow our citizens to achieve middle class lifestyles and become the entrepreneurs who create the jobs that our economy relies on, we call on the Texas Legislature to fund colleges and universities such that tuition and fees can be affordable to all Texans.

For or Against

  • Should the Texas Legislature allow the people of Texas to vote to legalize casino gambling with all funds generated being used only for education?

For or Against

Español

  • Cualquier graduado de una escuela secundaria de Texas, que ha vivido en el estado por lo menos tres años y vivío aquí de forma continua durante el último año, debe ser elegible para la matrícula estatal en los colegios y las universidades públicas de Texas y debe tener la oportunidad de obtener un estatus legal a través de una educación superior o servicio militar.

Apoya o En Contra

  • Debido a que una educación universitaria es cada vez más necesaria para los trabajos que permitan a nuestros ciudadanos lograr estilos de vida de clase media y convertirse en los empresarios que generen los empleos en que se basa nuestra economía, hacemos un llamado a la Legislatura de Texas para financiar colegios y universidades de tal manera que la matrícula y las cuotas pueden estar al alcance de todos los Tejanos.

Apoya o En Contra

  • ¿Crees que la legislature de Texas debe de permitir que los Tejanos voten para legalizar los casinos si las ganacias generadas para el estado son usadas unicamente para la educación pública?

 Apoya o En Contra
