SB 76 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to elimination of the countywide polling place program.

SB 76 eliminates Texas' countywide polling place program, which allowed voters to cast ballots at any polling location within their county. The bill repeals Section 43.007 of the Election Code and related provisions, removing the legal framework for this system. As a result, voters will no longer be able to vote at any location in their county and must return to their assigned polling place for early voting and election day. The bill also adjusts student clerk limits at polling places by removing an exception for countywide locations, which is now obsolete under the repealed program.
