The bill, H.B. No. 3909, amends the Election Code in Texas regarding the use of wireless communication devices at polling places. Specifically, it removes the restriction that prohibits the use of such devices within 100 feet of a voting station. This change allows individuals to use wireless communication devices closer to polling locations than previously permitted.

The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, providing a timeline for the implementation of this new regulation. By altering the existing law, the bill aims to facilitate communication for voters while they are at polling places.

Introduced: Election Code 61.014 (Election Code 61)
