SB 2000 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the hours of early voting by personal appearance in certain counties.

This bill changes early voting hours in Texas counties based on population size. Counties with fewer than 70,000 residents must offer at least five hours of in-person early voting daily (6 a.m.-10 p.m.), while larger counties must provide at least nine hours daily. It also requires larger counties to offer 12 hours on the last Saturday (6 a.m.-10 p.m.) and six hours on the last Sunday (9 a.m.-10 p.m.) of early voting. The policy directly affects voters in Texas counties by standardizing minimum early voting access at main polling locations.
