SB 109 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the procedure for closing a polling place.

SB 109 amends Texas election law to require that any election watcher present at a polling place (up to three total) may sign a tape printed under the relevant procedure. This procedural change directly affects election watchers who observe polling place operations. The bill adds this specific signature requirement to Section 61.002 of the Election Code, with the change taking effect September 1, 2025. It does not alter voting procedures or eligibility but specifies a documentation step for watchers.
