Relating to prohibiting certain individuals from serving as a volunteer deputy registrar.
HB 1090 prohibits certain individuals from serving as volunteer deputy registrars in Texas elections. It directly affects people seeking these volunteer roles by adding eligibility restrictions: applicants cannot have a final felony conviction (unless fully discharged or pardoned), cannot have been convicted of election-related offenses under Penal Code §32.51, and cannot currently face felony charges. The bill amends election code requirements to require these specific disqualifications for appointment. This change aims to ensure only eligible individuals serve in these election administration roles.
