Election Day has come and gone, but residents in Lubbock County made sure their voices were heard in the Texas constitutional amendments special election this year.
For the first time in recent years, Lubbock County was able to vote solely on the proposed constitutional amendments stemming from the Texas Legislature, surpassing the 2007 voter turnout in just a few days into this year’s early voting period.
With 24,018 voters showing up to the polls during the 2025 special election, here’s a look at voter turnout by day and who they voted for in the 17 constitutional amendments.
How did Lubbock County vote during the 2025 special elections?
Lubbock County looked extremely favorable on all 17 of the proposed amendments to the Texas Constitution.
Here’s a look at the percentage of Lubbock County voters who voted yes for each of the constitutional amendments:
How does this differ from the state results?
Big picture, Lubbock County overwhelmingly supported the amendments compared to Texas voters in general — the average support statewide being around 60%
However, there was a similar trend seen when it came to supporting some of the amendments.
Case in point, Lubbock County’s lowest approval was for Proposition 6 — ban on Texas securities tax — which was also Texas’ least approved amendment sitting at the mid 50% approval range late Tuesday night.
Lubbock County also followed Texas voters on which amendment they felt passionate about, which was Proposition 10 — tax exemption for homes destroyed by fire.
The amendment Lubbock County voters did stray away from Texas voters was on Proposition 15 — codifying parental rights — being the second lowest in approved amendments. Texas voters put it in the top half of most approved amendments.
Lubbock County sees high voter turnout in 2025, but not historic
In total, 24,018 voters turned up in person during this election cycle. That’s about 12.14% of the 197,870 registered voters in the county.
Here’s a breakdown by day of Lubbock County voter turnout:
This election does not beat the highest early voter turnout and Election Day voter turnout records in Lubbock County, both of which were set in 2023.
Early voter turnout equalled 17,301 and Election Day saw 11,396 voters.
On the ballot at that time were the Lubbock County Medical Examiner’s Office Bond, City of Abernathy Local Option, Abernathy ISD Bond and the City of Wolfforth Charter.
