According to unofficial early voting results from Montgomery County, eight city of Conroe propositions are passing, with seven propositions failing.What you need to know

Residents of Conroe were able to cast ballots on 15 proposed amendments to the city charter.

The city charter, originally adopted in 1965, was last updated following an election in May 2014, as previously reported.

Per the proposed charter amendments, among the 15 proposed amendments:

• Proposition A: would shift Conroe to a council-manager system
• Proposition C: addresses how many council members must be present to conduct city business; three council members—or two members and the mayor—cannot meet privately to deliberate city matters
• Proposition H: would limit the mayor’s and council members’ compensation to no more than $400 per month and no more than $300 per month, respectively
• Proposition K: alters how citizens can recall elected officials by raising the threshold to 15%, calculated from the last general city election
• Proposition O: limits the city’s ability to take on debt without voter approval

If voters reject any proposed amendments, council could bring them back in a future charter election. However, under Article 11 of the Texas Constitution, if at least one amendment passes, the city must wait two years before holding another charter election. If approved, amendments take effect once results are canvassed.

What else?

In early voting, there were 34,350 ballots cast countywide, which represents 7.38% of registered voters, as previously reported.

Totals from ballots cast Nov. 4 have yet to be released. Polls closed at 7 p.m., although voters who were in line at 7 p.m. were still able to cast ballots.
