HB 665 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the secretary of state posting on the secretary of state's Internet website databases containing certain information about elections.

HB 665 requires Texas county election offices and cities/school districts to submit annual election data to the Secretary of State by January. The Secretary must then post two public online databases: one listing election details (offices, terms, election dates), and another listing current officeholders and candidates (names, addresses, office terms). This applies to partisan offices, mayoral races, and city/school board positions. The bill aims to centralize and publicly accessible election information without changing voting procedures or outcomes.
