HB 628 expands access to early voting by mail to all qualified voters, eliminating previous restrictions based on age, disability, or absence from the county. It repeals several criminal offenses related to soliciting or distributing mail ballot applications. The bill includes provisions to simplify ballot application processes and aligns with broader efforts to make voting more accessible across Texas. The changes apply to elections ordered after September 1, 2025.
