Relating to the reading and marking of a ballot by a person occupying a voting station or by the person's child.

SB 62 would allow children under 14 years old to read or mark a parent's ballot at the parent's direction when accompanying them to a voting station. This specifically applies to children under 14 who are with their parent at a voting location, and the bill clarifies this action would not be considered "assisting a voter" under election law. The bill amends Texas Election Code Section 64.002(b) to permit this limited assistance. It is scheduled to take effect September 1, 2025.
