HB3774 amends the Texas Election Code to establish procedures for the operation of signature verification committees. These committees are tasked with verifying voter signatures on mail-in ballots. The bill outlines the appointment process for committee members, requiring equal representation from political parties. Members must take an oath and receive identification. The committee can only open carrier envelopes attached to federal postcard applications. The early voting clerk can no longer notify voters of defects after the committee starts operating.
