HB 1780 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to postage for early voting ballots voted by mail.

HB 1780 requires Texas election clerks to provide postage-free envelopes for voters mailing in early ballots. The bill mandates that official carrier envelopes must include the clerk's address, indicate prepaid postage, and be designed for free mailing. It repeals an existing postage requirement and takes effect for elections ordered on or after September 1, 2025. This directly affects voters who mail ballots and election offices responsible for preparing these envelopes.
