Relating to the restrictions on political activities of a county elections administrator.

HB 677 restricts county elections administrators in Texas from holding certain political positions. It prohibits them from being candidates for public office, holding public office, serving in a political party office, or holding positions appointed by elected officials. If an administrator violates this rule, they must immediately resign their election administration role. The law applies to new appointments after September 1, 2025, while current administrators serving before that date are exempt under the previous law. This bill directly affects county elections administrators by limiting their political involvement to maintain election integrity.
