Relating to early voting and to related practices and procedures.
HB 1091 amends Texas election code provisions for mail-in ballots. It shortens the deadline for submitting mail ballot applications from the 15th to the 11th day before an election (adjusting for holidays), and requires mail ballots to arrive by 5 p.m. the day before election day. These changes directly affect voters requesting or returning mail ballots in Texas elections. The bill modifies specific code sections (84.007, 86.0015, 86.007, 87.0221) to implement these timing requirements. The bill was pending in committee as of May 2025.
