Relating to the text on an application for a ballot to be voted by mail.

HB 3697 modifies Texas election code requirements for mail-in ballot applications and related materials. It mandates that the application form must be at least 8x9 inches, printed in 12-point type, and in black text. The bill also requires all balloting materials, including instructions, to use 12-point type and black text. These changes apply only to elections held on or after September 1, 2025, and directly affect voters requesting mail ballots and election offices processing these applications. The bill focuses solely on formatting standards for ballot materials.
