Ballot title

The ballot title for Proposition F was as follows:

Shall the City disannex approximately 212 acres of land commonly known as 'River Place Outparcels,' located in northwestern Travis County, adjacent to the boundary of the River Place Municipal Utility District, (the Area), thereby removing the Area from the full purpose city limits of Austin, resulting in the Travis County Sheriff's Office providing law enforcement, Travis County Emergency Services District No. 4 providing fire response, and Austin-Travis County EMS continuing to provide emergency services; the City would be required to continue to impose a property tax each year on the property in the Area at the same rate that is imposed on other property in the City until the taxes collected from the Area equal its pro rata share of the Area's indebtedness, which is $37.40, or until the debt is otherwise paid off in full with no prepayment penalty; and fees related to the City's full purpose jurisdiction would no longer be collected.

Under federal law, the national mail voter registration application (a version of which is in use in all states with voter registration systems) requires applicants to indicate that they are U.S. citizens in order to complete an application to vote in state or federal elections, but does not require voters to provide documentary proof of citizenship. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the application "may require only the minimum amount of information necessary to prevent duplicate voter registrations and permit State officials both to determine the eligibility of the applicant to vote and to administer the voting process."
