Texas SB2309 enhances election security by requiring video surveillance of ballot areas and allowing watchers to monitor ballot transfers.

The Ballot Box Election Security, Transparency, and Accountability Act mandates that counties with populations over 100,000 implement video surveillance in areas containing voted ballots. This includes all doorways, halls, and offices from the time ballots are delivered until the final canvass. The video must be livestreamed to the public and include a visible analog clock. Watchers can follow the transfer of ballot boxes and observe the sealing and transfer of data storage devices. Candidates and political action committee treasurers can monitor the partial count of ballots.
