Relating to providing voters access to a restroom facility at a polling place.
HB 1885 requires all Texas polling places to provide accessible restrooms for voters, election workers, and volunteers during voting hours, with clear signage indicating their location. If a polling site lacks a permanent restroom, the county must provide a temporary ADA-compliant facility. The bill also mandates that election materials distributed at polling places include restroom access information. This law takes effect September 1, 2025, directly impacting voters (particularly those with mobility needs), polling site operators, and county election officials.
