Texas HB2990 eliminates the countywide polling place program and updates election device requirements.

Texas HB2990 eliminates the countywide polling place program by repealing relevant sections of the Election Code. The bill mandates specific requirements for electronic devices used to accept voters, including the ability to produce an electronic copy of voters, display signatures, accept votes offline, and provide voter lists. It limits student election clerks to two per polling place, except for countywide polling places where up to four may serve. The bill also requires devices to time-stamp voter acceptance and transmissions, and produce electronic voter data.
