The House Committee on Elections, chaired by Representative Reggie Smith, focuses on overseeing Texas election laws and addressing key issues in the electoral process. The committee has actively considered a series of bills aimed at enhancing the integrity of the electoral system, including measures related to voter registration, ballot secrecy, and electoral procedures. Notable legislation under review includes HB 789, which establishes specific eligibility criteria for candidates, and SB 1750, proposing to abolish the county elections administrator position in certain counties. The committee emphasizes transparency, public confidence in elections, and compliance with state laws while also examining the implementation of prior legislative measures. Regular meetings allow for public testimony and ensure stakeholder engagement in shaping Texas electoral policies.
