TX SB106

Separates federal elections (U.S. Senator and U.S. Representative races) from state and local elections in Texas, requiring separate ballots for federal offices while allowing both elections to be held concurrently at the same polling locations

Creates a new "federal ballot" that lists only federal office candidates and prohibits state/county propositions or offices from appearing on it; voters registered under standard state requirements receive a full ballot covering both federal and state elections

Establishes a separate voter registration pathway for federal elections that allows certain voters who cannot meet Texas state registration requirements but meet federal law requirements to register and vote only in federal elections, including military service voters and U.S. citizens temporarily living abroad

Defines "federal election" to include primary and general elections for U.S. Senator and U.S. Representative, but explicitly excludes presidential elections from this separate election system

Directs the Secretary of State to adopt rules implementing the separation while minimizing voter disruption, requiring use of the same polling locations, voting stations, and precincts for both federal and state elections held concurrently
