Relating to early voting by mail.

HB 1439 allows eligible disabled voters in Texas to request and receive absentee ballot materials via email. It requires early voting clerks to send ballots and instructions in PDF or electronic format if voters submit a valid disability application, provide an email address, request by the seventh day before an election, and have no prior ballot received. The bill mandates that email addresses used for this process remain confidential and not publicly disclosed. It directly affects voters with disabilities who qualify for mail-in ballots under existing election code provisions. The bill creates new procedures for accessible voting but does not change eligibility requirements.
