Relating to the separation of federal elections from state and local elections, and to related practices and procedures.
This bill amends Texas Election Code definitions to clarify the separation between federal and state/local elections. It defines "federal election" to exclude presidential elections (e.g., for president/vice president) and specifies "federal office" as U.S. senator or representative roles. The bill also updates terms like "general election for state and county officers" to exclude federal offices and clarifies that "statewide office" refers only to state-level positions. These changes are purely definitional, ensuring election code terminology aligns with federal election structures without altering voting procedures or requirements.
