Texas HB4780 amends the Election Code to change how election judges and clerks are appointed. It mandates that presiding and alternate presiding judges must be affiliated with different political parties. The county chair of the political party with the highest or second highest votes in the most recent gubernatorial election must submit a list of eligible candidates for each precinct to the commissioners court. If a timely list is submitted, the presiding and alternate presiding judges must appoint at least one clerk from the list.
