Relating to the separation of federal elections from state and local elections, and to related practices and procedures.

HB 37 updates Texas election law by clarifying definitions to separate federal elections from state and local elections. It redefines "federal election" to exclude presidential elections, specifies "federal office" as only U.S. Senate or House seats, and adjusts terms like "general election for state and county officers" and "statewide office" to exclude federal contests. These changes primarily affect Texas election administrators and voters by clarifying which elections are classified under state law, ensuring federal contests (except Senate/Representative races) are handled distinctly from state/local voting procedures. The bill is procedural, focusing on terminology rather than altering voting mechanics.
