Relating to the designation of polling place locations on the campuses of certain general academic teaching institutions.

HB 1159 requires counties to designate a polling place on the main campus of any Texas university with at least 8,000 enrolled students. This applies to "general academic teaching institutions" located within the county, ensuring voting access for students during the same hours as early voting and election day. The bill directly affects students at qualifying universities and county election officials, who must establish these campus locations by September 1, 2025. It creates a concrete policy change by mandating on-campus voting sites, eliminating the need for students to travel off-campus to vote.
