Caption from analyzed text · version I.
Counties switch by September 1, 2028. “.texas.gov” also counts.
The bill requires every Texas county to post its required election information on a website that uses a ".gov" address. A county may use a ".texas.gov" address instead if ".gov" is not available or if it is already using ".texas.gov" on September 1, 2027. Counties must switch as soon as practicable and no later than September 1, 2028, so voters will find official election information only on government web addresses.
