Relating to the eligibility to vote in certain primary elections.
HB 934 modifies voting eligibility for primaries of Texas political parties whose gubernatorial candidate won at least 7 of the last 10 statewide elections. It requires voters to either have voted in that party's primary within the past two years, hold a valid party affiliation certificate issued before the ballot filing period, or be under 21 years old. The bill applies only to these dominant parties' primaries and does not affect general elections or other parties. It takes effect September 1, 2025, and would directly impact voters seeking to participate in those specific primary elections.
