TX HB569

Requires early voting clerks to send voters a notice of defect and corrective action form within two days of discovering a problem with a mail-in ballot carrier envelope that doesn't meet requirements

Gives voters the option to either cancel their mail-in ballot application or correct the defect by submitting a corrective action form by mail/carrier or appearing in person at the clerk's office no later than six days after election day

Allows clerks to notify voters by telephone or email if there isn't enough time for mailed notice to arrive, enabling faster communication of ballot defects

Directs the Secretary of State to develop a standardized corrective action form and requires clerks to also notify voters of defects through an existing online ballot tracking tool

Mandates that if a clerk uses the defect notification procedures, they must apply them uniformly to all defective ballots in that election, with poll watchers entitled to observe the process
