Legislative Session: 88(R)

Senate Bill 924	Senate Author: Springer
Effective: 9-1-23	House Sponsor: Hayes

Senate Bill 924 amends the Election Code to authorize a commissioners court of a county with a population of less than 1.2 million that does not participate in the countywide polling place program to combine county election precincts on recommendation of the county election board if the commissioners court cannot secure a suitable polling place location and the location of the combined polling place adequately serves the voters of the combined precinct. The bill removes the existing authorization to combine precincts if changes in precinct boundaries to give effect to a redistricting plan result in precincts where the number of registered voters does not meet a certain threshold. The bill raises from 5,000 to 10,000 the cap on the number of registered voters a combined precinct may contain.
