House Bill 3252 |
House Author: Allen |

Effective: Vetoed |
Senate Sponsor: Zaffirini |
House Bill 3252 amends the Election Code to require the written notice of the date, hour, and place for each precinct, county, senatorial, or state convention that a voter in the precinct may be eligible to attend during an election year to be posted and remain posted continuously during the early voting period for a primary election. The bill changes the posting location of a primary election notice and the notice of consolidated precincts for general and special elections to the county clerk's website.
Governor's Reason for Veto: "House Bill 3252 would change how the public is notified about a primary election, but in a way that could cause confusion and is now unnecessary. House Bill 3252 would require that notice of a primary election be posted on the county clerk's website, but in Texas, some county clerks are not responsible for administering elections. And House Bill 2640, which I have signed into law, now requires the same notice of a primary election to be posted on the county's official website. Disapproving House Bill 3252 will help ensure that voters know where to find information about how to cast their ballot."
