Relating to the separation of federal elections from state and local elections, and to related practices and procedures.
This bill amends Texas Election Code definitions to clarify the separation of federal elections from state and local elections. It defines "federal election" as elections for U.S. Senate or House seats (excluding presidential elections), and specifies that "statewide office" refers only to state-level positions. The bill adjusts references in the code to ensure federal election procedures are distinct from state/local election processes. It does not change voting requirements or procedures but refines terminology for administrative clarity. (Procedural bill, summary limited to key definition changes.)
