SB 931 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the process of canvassing elections.

SB 931 modifies Texas election canvassing procedures to add verification steps. It requires precinct presiding judges to correct discrepancies between vote totals and tally lists, county clerks to verify county returns match precinct records before submitting them, and the Secretary of State to post returns online and verify them against local records. These changes apply only to elections held on or after the bill's effective date (September 1, 2025). The bill directly affects election officials at precinct, county, and state levels by establishing specific checks to ensure accuracy in vote reporting.
