The bill, H.B. No. 4671, amends the Election Code of Texas by adding a new section, 83.0301, which specifies 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 during these specific elections.

Additionally, the bill repeals Section 85.0091(b) of the Election Code, which may have previously outlined different provisions regarding election officer appointments. The new provisions will only apply to elections ordered on or after the effective date of the Act, which is set for September 1, 2025.

Introduced: Election Code 85.0091 (Election Code 85)
