The bill, H.B. No. 934, amends the Election Code by adding a new section, 11.0015, which outlines specific eligibility requirements for voting in certain primary elections held by political parties in Texas. This section applies only to parties whose candidate for governor has received the most votes in at least 7 of the last 10 gubernatorial elections. To be eligible to vote in these primary elections, individuals must meet one of three criteria: they must have voted in a primary election of the political party within the past two years, have been issued an affiliation certificate by the party before the filing period for the general primary election ballot, or be under 21 years of age.

The bill emphasizes the importance of party affiliation and recent participation in primary elections as a means to ensure that voters are actively engaged with the political party they wish to vote for. The new eligibility requirements aim to strengthen party loyalty and involvement among voters. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
