The bill, H.B. No. 4671, proposes amendments to the Texas Election Code regarding the appointment of election officers for certain elections. It introduces a new section, 83.0301, which stipulates that individuals cannot be appointed as deputy early voting clerks for primary or general elections concerning state and county officers. This change aims to clarify the eligibility criteria for election officers in these specific elections.

Additionally, the bill repeals Section 85.0091(b) of the Election Code, which may have previously outlined different provisions related to election officer appointments. The changes enacted by this bill will only apply to elections ordered on or after its effective date of September 1, 2025.
