Relating to the responsibilities of the tabulation supervisor of a central counting station; providing a civil penalty
HB 3323 requires tabulation supervisors at Texas central counting stations to be trained on ballot-tabulating equipment and either registered voters in the area or employees of the local political subdivision. It mandates continuous ballot counting until all ballots are processed and imposes a $500 civil penalty for supervisors who fail to comply with these requirements. The bill directly affects individuals appointed as tabulation supervisors at central counting stations, making them personally liable for the penalty. This amendment to the Election Code creates a specific enforcement mechanism for election administration procedures without changing broader voting rules.
