Digest
HB 657 mandates that all counties post election information on websites with the top-level domain ".gov" or ".texas.gov" by September 1, 2026. This change is intended to enhance the credibility and security of election-related information online, reducing the risks of misinformation. Counties currently using other domains will need to transition to comply with this requirement. This bill reflects a broader effort to improve public trust in election administration.
