"Senate Bill 1 will solidify trust and confidence in the outcome of our elections by making it easier to vote and harder to cheat. I look forward to signing Senate Bill 1 into law, ensuring election integrity in Texas,"
“Election integrity is now law in the state of Texas,” Abbott said while signing the legislation into law on Tuesday. Democrat critics say that the bill elevates "voter suppression" and harms voters of color. Texas Democrats in the state legislature recently fled the state in protest of debate and votes on the bill, but their stunt was unsuccessful.
The bill ramps up voter identification requirements for in-person and mail-in voting, bans unsolicited mail-in ballots from being sent out, implements more voter roll oversight, and empowers poll watchers, among other provisions.
Other laws recently went into effect in Texas, including a controversial, far-reaching abortion ban and a constitutional carry bill.
