2026 TX GOP Legislative Priority - Secure Texas Elections

Securing elections from each citizen’s registration to the final count of legal votes by:

Requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote.
Requiring the Counties and the Secretary of State to update the voter rolls at least quarterly.
Requiring a mandatory photo ID for every election, without exception.
Restricting mail-in ballots to disabled, military, and eligible citizens who are out of their county for the entire voting period.
Using only hand-marked, sequentially numbered paper ballots on anti-counterfeiting paper that are signed on the back by the election official at the voting location.
Standardizing in-person voting, with early voting limited to a period of no longer than nine (9) days, no gap before Election Day, and assigned-precinct voting locations only.
Counting ballots in precinct using a dumb-scanner method as soon as the ballot is returned by the voter and with publication of the results prior to submission to the County.
Closing party primaries for only registered Republicans.
Explicitly codifying the ability of the Attorney General to prosecute violations of the Election Code.
Removing existing Secretary of State waivers to comply with current Election Code.
