Governor Greg Abbott issued a proclamation suspending Section 85.001(a) of the Texas Election Code to expand the early voting period for the November 3, 2020 elections. Pursuant to the Governor’s proclamation, the early voting period for any election authorized to occur on November 3, 2020 will begin on Tuesday, October 13, 2020 and last through Friday, October 30, 2020. As the proclamation recognizes, this expansion will allow for increased in-person voting opportunities for the November 3, 2020 elections while maintaining appropriate social distancing standards in response to the COVID-19 disaster. Additionally, the proclamation suspends a portion of Section 86.006(a-1) to allow a voter to hand deliver their marked mail ballot to the early voting clerk’s office before election day.
