We call upon the Convention Rules Committee to institute reasonable term limits such as 2 four-year terms for Party Executive Officers, the State Chair, Vice-Chair, and such, and 5 two-year terms for members of the State Democratic Executive Committee.
The Permanent Rules Committee passed this proposal and we now ask for the General Body to support it as well.
We call for rule changes to the Texas Democratic Party to institute ranked-choice voting for all party officer positions elected at the 2026 State Democratic Convention. It is confusing to our delegates to use ranked-choice for SDEC and committee members only to use an entirely other voting system for party officers. One common voting system will best serve our party. We also call for the party to institute electronic voting, including at in-person conventions, for to make our floor votes faster, easier, and more transparent.
