Relating to the eligibility requirements to serve as an election watcher.

HB 1058 amends Texas election law to clarify eligibility requirements for individuals serving as election watchers. The bill requires watchers to be qualified voters in the specific geographic area where they will observe (county, part of county, or political subdivision) and mandates completion of training under Section 33.008. These changes directly affect anyone seeking to serve as an election watcher in Texas elections. The law takes effect September 1, 2025, and updates existing eligibility rules without altering election administration procedures.
