Summary

Election day joins early voting and mail.

The bill lets a voter who moved to a new Texas county, but whose new registration is not yet effective, cast a limited ballot on election day itself, not just during early voting or by mail. That election-day limited ballot can be cast only at the location of the county's main early voting polling place, and the voter's sworn statement goes to a person the early voting clerk designates there. The early voting clerk may use mail-ballot forms to run this election-day limited voting, and the change takes effect September 1, 2025.
