Relating to the required use of hand-marked paper ballots for all elections.

HB 4152 requires all Texas counties to use hand-marked scannable paper ballots for every election, replacing electronic voting systems. The bill mandates that counties implement this system by meeting specific requirements, including using computerized voter registration lists and demonstrating technological capability. It directly affects all Texas counties conducting elections by changing their voting equipment standards. The law modifies Election Code sections to specify that counties must adopt hand-marked paper ballots instead of direct recording electronic voting machines or ballot marking devices.
