Texans hit the polls earlier in the week to pass all eight proposed amendments to the state constitution, including one that curtails the ability of government to restrict religious services, including during emergencies such as pandemics, according to state authorities.

The Texas secretary of state has announced unofficial results of the vote, which took place on Nov. 2 and was required in order to adopt the amendments, which were earlier approved during the legislative session. Two of the propositions were created explicitly in response to COVID-19 restrictions.
