More specifically, the official text was summarized by the state legislature as ’’Relating to countywide polling places’’.
The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
This bill amends the Election Code to authorize the secretary of state to implement a program that permits commissioners courts to establish countywide polling places at each county election precinct. These polling places can be used for any election required by the county, joint elections with a county, elections held under contract for election services, and primary and runoff elections if agreed upon by political party officials. Additionally, each polling place must have a poll list for the entire county. The bill repeals certain subsections of the Election Code related to the program and specifies that the changes will take effect Sept. 1, 2025.
