S.B. No. 2753 aims to improve the integration of early voting with election day voting in Texas and includes several key amendments to the Election Code. The bill mandates that the registrar's office remain open during extended early voting hours for voter registration information and specifies that state funds can only be allocated for certain voter registration-related expenses. It allows for the combination of county election precincts with fewer than 3,000 registered voters to reduce costs and requires that polling places designated for early voting also serve as election day locations. Additionally, the bill modifies the early voting period to begin 12 days before election day, including weekends and holidays, while ensuring consistent and accessible early voting hours.

The legislation introduces procedural changes aimed at enhancing the security and processing of early voting ballots. Election officials are required to confirm that voting machines are reset before voting starts, and detailed reporting of votes cast at each polling location is mandated. Early voting clerks must secure voting machines at the end of each day and unsecure them before the next day's voting. The bill also outlines the handling of voted and unvoted ballots, requiring unvoted ballots to be stored separately and voted ballots to be counted according to specified procedures. Furthermore, it includes provisions for the delivery of early voting ballots to the early voting ballot board and repeals outdated provisions of the Election Code, with the Secretary of State tasked to implement these changes by August 1, 2027, and the act taking effect on September 1, 2025.
