Relating to the availability of paper ballots for a person voting by personal appearance.
This bill requires election officials in Texas to provide paper ballots to voters who request them when voting in person at polling places or early voting locations. It mandates that precincts have sufficient ballots (based on prior election turnout plus 25%) and the capability to print additional paper ballots if needed. The law directly affects voters who choose to vote in person and request a paper ballot, ensuring they receive one without barriers. It applies to all elections ordered on or after the bill's effective date.
