The bill, H.B. No. 934, amends the Election Code by adding a new section, 11.0015, which establishes specific eligibility criteria for voting in certain primary elections held by political parties in Texas. This section applies only to parties whose gubernatorial candidates have received the most votes in at least seven of the last ten gubernatorial elections. To be eligible to vote in these primary elections, individuals must meet one of three conditions: they must have voted in a primary election of the party within the past two years, possess an affiliation certificate issued by the party before the filing period for the general primary election ballot, or be under 21 years of age.

The bill aims to refine the voting process in primary elections by ensuring that participants have a recent and active affiliation with the political party. The new eligibility requirements are intended to promote party loyalty and engagement among voters. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
