SB931 amends the Texas Election Code to change the process of canvassing elections. The bill mandates that the county clerk cannot deliver county returns to the secretary of state before each canvassing presiding judge examines the returns and tally list, making necessary corrections. The secretary of state must post county returns on their website, and the county clerk must verify these returns within 24 hours. The secretary of state is also required to compare county returns with the local election register, making corrections if discrepancies are found.
