Bill > HB4671

This bill modifies Texas election law by prohibiting individuals from being appointed as deputy early voting clerks for primary elections or general elections for state and county officers. Specifically, the bill adds a new Section 83.0301 to Subchapter B, Chapter 31 of the Election Code, which restricts who can serve as a deputy early voting clerk during these specific types of elections. The bill also repeals Section 85.0091(b) of the Election Code, which likely contained previous language about election officer appointments. The changes will only apply to elections ordered on or after the bill's effective date, which is September 1, 2025. In the context of election administration, this bill appears to be refining the rules about who can serve as an election officer, potentially to ensure impartiality or address specific concerns about election personnel appointments.
