Few voters show ed up at polls
across Texas today to decide
fates of nine proposed amend-
ments to the state Constitution,
a document written in 1876
which may be retired after a
constitutional convention opens
in January
The light balloting fulfilled
earlier predictions by election
officials
Only in Houston did officials
report moderate or heavy bal-
loting Localelections including
the Houston mayor's race were
credited with gaining voter in-
terest and were expected to
draw 250,000 to 300,000 ballots
before polls closed
reported only a few early votes
and a spot check of other Texas
cities indicated equally small
turnouts
In Wichita Falls one observer
said. The election turnout is so
light in some of the precincts
even the judges haven’t
bothered to vote "
Waco reported 16 to 17 per
cent of the registered voters
were expected to cast ballots
and Amarillo, Lubbock and Ty-
ler officials said early activity
at polls indicated little interest
in the election
Voting in Austin also was re-
ported light and expected to run
only about 18 per cent of the
eligible voters
%
A spot check elsewhere in-
dicated a light turnout with cool
temperatures and damp,
sunless skies in many sections
doing little to encourage large
turnouts
Even a legislative pay raise
proposal heading the list of
amendments failed to bring
citizens to the polls
No more than 800,000 Texans
were expected to vote in the
election and some officials said
the heavy balloting in Houston
could swing the amendments
vote across the state
Other areas of Texas reported
no local issues to draw voters to
the polls

'More than 5 5 million persons

Aside from the prospect of a
new constitution nullifying or
making unnecessary today's
vote, a light voter response
seems likely because of the
pockets of special interest
groups the amendments affect.
