HB 665 requires the Texas Secretary of State to maintain publicly accessible online databases for elections. The first database will provide information on elections for partisan offices, mayors, city governing bodies, and school district trustees, including candidate and officeholder details. A second database will catalog information about election notices, such as precinct consolidations. Counties, cities, and political parties must provide this information to the Secretary of State. The bill aims to enhance transparency and public access to election-related data across Texas.
