Bill > HB1180

This bill modifies Texas Election Code provisions related to voting a limited ballot when a voter changes their county of residence. Specifically, the bill allows voters who have moved to a new county to vote a limited ballot not just during early voting, but also on election day itself. Under the new provisions, a voter is eligible to cast a limited ballot if they would have been eligible to vote in their previous county, are still registered in their former county, and do not have an effective voter registration in their new county by election day. The bill specifies that such limited ballots must be cast at the main early voting polling place on election day and can be completed using official ballots for early voting by mail. These changes provide more flexibility for voters who have recently relocated between counties, ensuring they can still exercise their right to vote even during a transitional period between registrations. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, giving election officials and voters time to prepare for the new voting procedure.
