Bill > HB1032

This bill modifies Texas Election Code provisions related to voting a limited ballot when a voter changes county residence. Specifically, the bill expands when and where voters can cast a limited ballot, allowing them to vote on election day, during early voting, or by mail if they meet certain conditions: they would have been eligible to vote in their former county, are still registered in their former county, and do not have an effective voter registration in their new county. The bill also broadens the locations where a limited ballot can be cast, permitting voting at any early voting polling place, on election day at a countywide polling place, or at the polling place in the voter's new residence precinct. Additionally, the bill changes several administrative details, such as replacing references to "early voting clerk" with "election officer" and adjusting notification procedures for county clerks. These changes aim to provide more flexibility for voters who have recently moved between counties while maintaining the integrity of the voting process. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
