SB 106 mandates the separation of federal elections from state and local elections in Texas. Federal elections, defined as those for federal office excluding presidential electors, are to use separate ballots and procedures but may be conducted concurrently with state elections. The Secretary of State is required to adopt rules to minimize voter disruption and ensure procedural clarity. The bill also establishes distinct voter registration and ballot preparation guidelines for federal elections and delineates the responsibilities of election authorities accordingly.
