HB 3144 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the use of a public school or institution of higher education as a polling place.

HB 3144 amends Texas Election Code to restrict using public school or college campuses as polling places. It requires that such campuses must be closed for regular operations during voting hours to host a polling location. This directly affects election officials selecting voting sites and school districts managing campus access during elections. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025, and does not change other polling place rules.
