Relating to requirements for counties posting election information on an Internet website.

HB 657 requires Texas counties to use the ".gov" domain (or ".texas.gov" under specific conditions) for websites posting election information. It directly affects all counties that maintain online election resources, mandating they adopt these domain formats by September 1, 2026. Counties may continue using ".texas.gov" if they already did so as of September 1, 2025, or if ".gov" is unavailable. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025, with compliance due by September 1, 2026.
