Texas SB76 eliminates the countywide polling place program and revises election procedures.

Texas SB76 eliminates the countywide polling place program by repealing relevant sections of the Election Code.

The bill also limits the number of student election clerks allowed at a polling place. It ensures that early voting locations and personal appearance voting remain unaffected. The changes take effect September 1, 2025.
