§ 31.032 codifies that the county elections administrator is appointed by a county election commission composed of the county judge (chair), county clerk (vice chair), county tax assessor-collector (secretary), and the county chair of each political party that made nominations by primary — a multi-member, party-balanced appointing body requiring a majority vote. § 31.154 codifies the parallel joint elections commission. § 87.002 codifies a party-balanced early-voting ballot board. Statutory grounding of a balanced election-administration body codified.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: § 20.006 and the qualified-voter definition in § 11.002 set the voting-age (18) and citizenship and residency requirements by statute. The ingested corpus is the Texas Election Code only; the constitutional grounding of voter qualifications (Tex. Const. Art. VI) is not within the corpus, so constitutional-rather-than-statutory grounding cannot be evidenced.

§ 11.002 codifies a complete disqualification framework with restoration: a 'qualified voter' must not have been finally convicted of a felony or, if so convicted, must have 'fully discharged the person's sentence, including any term of incarceration, parole, or supervision, or completed a period of probation,' or have been pardoned; and must not have been adjudged totally or partially mentally incapacitated without the right to vote. § 16.003 codifies felony-conviction abstracts and § 16.031 codifies cancellation. Criteria, duration, and restoration all codified.

“fully discharged the person's sentence, including any term of incarceration, parole, or supervision, or completed a period of probation ordered by any court”

§ 1.020 codifies restoration of voting rights after a mental-incapacity adjudication: a person is no longer subject to a voting disability once their mental capacity is 'completely restored by a final judgment of a court' or their guardianship is modified to include the right to vote. Felony voting rights restore automatically once the sentence is fully discharged under § 11.002(a)(4). Statutory restoration procedure codified.

§ 62.016 codifies the statutory voter-ID regime by requiring the presiding judge to post outside each polling location 'a list of the acceptable forms of identification' in at least 24-point font. The substantive requirement is set by statute in § 63.001 (a voter must present photo ID listed in § 63.0101(a)) and § 63.0101. The ID requirement is grounded in statute, not regulation.

§ 63.0101 exhaustively enumerates the acceptable forms of photo identification (Texas driver's license, election identification certificate, DPS personal ID, US military ID, US citizenship certificate, US passport book/card, DPS handgun license) and the acceptable non-photo documents accompanying a reasonable-impediment declaration. The acceptable IDs are fixed by statute, not left to administrator discretion.

“The following documentation is an acceptable form of photo identification under this chapter”

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: § 63.0101(a)(1) lists the 'election identification certificate' (Texas's free voter-ID card) as acceptable, but the provision making the EIC free of charge is codified in the Transportation Code (Ch. 521A), outside the Election Code corpus; no free-ID guarantee is surfaced within the Election Code for this datapoint.

§ 63.011 codifies an at-polls cure procedure: a voter who cannot meet the ID requirement may cast a provisional ballot by executing an affidavit; § 63.001(i) codifies the reasonable-impediment declaration as an alternative; § 65.054 and § 65.0541 codify that a provisional ballot is accepted if the voter meets the ID requirement at casting or presents ID within the prescribed cure period. Comprehensive at-polls cure codified.

No matching sections in corpus (FTS returned 0 candidates) — concept not codified in this jurisdiction's election statute.

§ 16.0921(c) references the statutory voter-registration timeline — distinguishing applications submitted 'after the 75th day and prior to the 30th day before the general election.' The 30-day-before-election registration cutoff is codified in § 13.143 of the Election Code; the specific cutoff section did not surface for this datapoint, so the deadline is evidenced only by cross-reference.

§ 20.037 codifies registration through voter-registration agencies by mail and telephone-triggered mailing. The full enumeration of registration methods — personal delivery, mail, and telephonic facsimile (§ 13.002), motor-voter and agency registration (Ch. 20) — is codified, though REG.2's FTS surfaced mainly mail-ballot provisions; agency/mail registration is evidenced here.

§ 13.073 codifies a cure procedure for an incomplete registration application: the registrar must give written notice of the reason for rejection, and 'if the rejection is for incompleteness, the registrar shall return the application to the applicant for completion and resubmission'; if a completed application is received within 10 days, the original submission date is preserved for determining the effective registration date.

“the registrar shall return the application to the applicant for completion and resubmission”

§ 13.075 requires the registrar to notify a registration applicant of any challenge with 'a brief explanation of the applicant's right to a hearing on the challenge and the right to appeal the registrar's decision.' § 16.066 codifies the registrar's written determination of a challenge, § 16.094 the hearing notice, and § 16.036 the right to challenge a cancellation. The voter's challenge/appeal right is codified.

“the applicant's right to a hearing on the challenge and the right to appeal the registrar's decision”

§ 18.068 codifies statutory roll-maintenance criteria: the secretary of state quarterly compares the statewide voter list against death records and jury-disqualification data to identify deceased, non-citizen and non-resident voters, with codified weak-match/strong-match safeguards to 'produce the least possible impact on Texas voters.' § 18.0681 codifies duplicate-record elimination and § 16.031 codifies the enumerated cancellation grounds (death, felony, mental incapacity, change of residence). Roll-maintenance criteria codified in statute.

§ 16.0332 codifies a pre-purge notice-and-cure procedure: before cancelling a registration for a citizenship-status discrepancy, the registrar must deliver written notice requiring proof of citizenship, and only 'if a voter fails to submit to the registrar proof of citizenship on or before the 30th day after the date the notice is mailed' may the registrar cancel. § 15.052 codifies the parallel 30-day confirmation-notice cure. Notice-and-opportunity-to-cure codified.

“If a voter fails to submit to the registrar proof of citizenship on or before the 30th day after the date the notice is mailed, the registrar shall cancel the voter's registration.”

§ 13.103 codifies physical security of the voter-registration files — they 'shall be kept in the registrar's office at all times in a place and manner ensuring their security' — and § 13.004 codifies confidentiality of sensitive voter data (social security, driver's license, and protected residence addresses) and bars posting it on a website. No encryption mandate or data-breach-notification regime is codified, so the data-security regime is only partially codified.

§ 272.002 codifies an explicit statutory language-assistance threshold: bilingual (English/Spanish) election materials must be used in each election precinct in a county in which 'five percent or more of the inhabitants are persons of Spanish origin or descent according to the most recent federal decennial census.' § 272.001 mandates bilingual materials generally; § 272.004 extends them to early voting. Statutory trigger codified.

“five percent or more of the inhabitants are persons of Spanish origin or descent”

§ 64.032(c) codifies the right to assistance by a person of the voter's choice: 'on the voter's request, the voter may be assisted by any person selected by the voter' other than the voter's employer, an agent of the employer, or a labor-union officer/agent. § 64.031 codifies eligibility for assistance; § 64.033 codifies how the ballot is read. The assistance right and the rules on who may assist are codified.

“the voter may be assisted by any person selected by the voter”

§ 62.0115 codifies, as part of the statutory voters'-rights notice, the right to 'receive assistance in casting the ballot if the voter cannot read the language in which the ballot is written.' The detailed procedure protecting ballot secrecy is codified in § 64.031-64.033 (eligibility for assistance includes inability to read the ballot language; two election officers or a person of the voter's choice provide it). The right is codified; the procedure is established by cross-reference.

§ 32.091 references the statutory election-day polling schedule — barring payment of judges/clerks 'for more than two hours of work before the polls open' and after 'the time for closing the polls.' Election-day polling hours (7 a.m.–7 p.m.) are fixed by statute in § 41.031 of the Election Code; the hours section itself did not surface for this datapoint, so statutory poll hours are evidenced by cross-reference.

§ 86.005 codifies the procedure for marking and sealing a ballot voted by mail (mark per the envelope instructions, seal the ballot envelope inside the carrier envelope, sign the carrier-envelope certificate in ink). The full vote-by-mail procedure is codified across Ch. 84 (application), Ch. 86 (provision, marking, return), and Ch. 87 (signature verification and the § 87.0271 / § 87.0411 defect-cure procedures). Comprehensive mail-voting procedure codified.

§ 85.001 codifies the early-voting period (beginning on the 17th day — or, under the alternate text, the 12th day — before election day and running through the day before / fourth day before election day). § 85.005 codifies the required days and minimum hours, § 85.006 codifies Saturday/Sunday voting, and § 85.062-85.064 codify the locations rule. Early-voting period and locations set by statute.

No matching sections in corpus (FTS returned 0 candidates) — concept not codified in this jurisdiction's election statute.

§ 63.011 codifies the right to cast a provisional ballot (on executing an affidavit of registration and eligibility) for any voter who cannot be accepted under the regular procedure. § 65.054 codifies the early-voting ballot board's adjudication of provisional ballots, § 65.056 the disposition of rejected provisional ballots, and § 124.006 the secretary of state's prescription of the provisional-ballot form and procedures. Provisional-ballot right and adjudication codified.
