Allows 17-year-olds to vote in primary elections if they will be 18 by the general election.

The bill amends the Texas Election Code to allow individuals who will be 18 years old by the date of the general election to vote in the preceding primary elections. This change hinges on a constitutional amendment proposed by the 89th Legislature, Regular Session, 2025. If the amendment is not approved, the bill has no effect. The bill also mandates that the voter registrar inform registrants who qualify under this provision that they can only vote in primary elections until they turn 18.
