Texas HB569 amends early voting ballot procedures to allow voters to correct defects in mail-in ballots.

HB569 modifies Texas election law to provide voters with an opportunity to correct defects in early voting ballots cast by mail. If a ballot has a defect, the early voting clerk must notify the voter and offer options to correct the defect. Voters can either submit a corrective action form by mail or in person at the clerk's office before the sixth day after election day. The bill also mandates the development of an online tool for voters to track their ballot status and receive defect notifications. These changes apply to elections held after the bill's effective date of September 1, 2025.
