Relating to allowing pregnant individuals to vote by mail if they will be in the second or third trimester on election day.

HB 5386 allows pregnant individuals in their second or third trimester of pregnancy on election day to vote by mail in Texas. The bill amends Section 82.002 of the Election Code to add this as a new eligibility criterion under "disability or other physical condition," alongside existing provisions for sickness or childbirth-related confinement. It directly affects pregnant voters who meet the trimester requirement but cannot physically visit polling places on election day. The law takes effect September 1, 2025.
