Texas HB5430 prohibits candidates from appearing on the ballot if they file for more than one political party in the same election cycle.

Texas HB5430 amends the Election Code to declare candidates ineligible if they file for a place on the general primary election ballot or for nomination by convention with more than one political party in the same voting year. Such candidates are ineligible for a place on the ballot for a general primary election, nomination by convention, and the succeeding general election as an independent, a party nominee, or a write-in candidate. The secretary of state must notify these candidates of their ineligibility and offer them the option to withdraw.
