Proposition 8 was a referendum for a state constitutional amendment placed on the ballot by the Texas legislature and approved by the voters at the November 7, 1972 general election. The measure amended sections 4, 22, and 23 of the Texas Constitution, changing the length of the terms of statewide elected offices in Texas from two years to four years.[1]
