S.B. No. 688 amends the Texas Election Code to change the date on which presidential electors convene. The bill specifies that electors will now meet at the State Capitol at 2 p.m. on the first Tuesday after the second Wednesday in December following their election, replacing the previous requirement for them to meet on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December. This change aligns the meeting date with federal law requirements.

The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, following its passage in both the Senate and the House with unanimous support. The legislative process reflects a strong consensus on the need to update the timing of the electors' meeting to ensure compliance with federal standards.
