Relating to the use of a public school as a polling place.

HB 2579 prohibits using public primary or secondary school campuses as polling places in Texas, effective September 1, 2025. It directly affects public schools, election officials, and voters who previously used school locations for voting. The bill amends the Election Code to ban polling places on school campuses and also restricts placing polling locations at the residences of candidates or their close relatives (within third-degree consanguinity or second-degree affinity). This creates a concrete policy change requiring election administrators to find alternative locations for polling sites.
