Texas voters approved Proposition 16 enshrining in the state constitution that only U.S. citizens may vote, passing in all but two of 254 counties.

Constitutional amendment explicitly stating only U.S. citizens may vote in Texas elections was approved, codifying a restriction already in state and federal law.

The 89th Legislature passed multiple election bills including SB 2964 requiring clerks to notify voters of carrier envelope defects within two days.

HB 3909 prohibits cell phones, tablets, or laptops within voting rooms, and HB 521 prohibits loitering near curbside voting spaces.
