Isaac seeks to ensure student safety, Zwiener concerned about effect on voters

Public schools would be banned from serving as polling places under legislation filed by Rep. Carrie Issac, R-Wimberley.

Isaac recently filed HB 4465, which would prevent primary and secondary school campuses from acting as a polling location. Republicans in the House and Senate have filed similar bills restricting the ability to vote at public schools, voicing concern for school safety.

Earlier last month, Isaac filed a different bill restricting polling locations on college campuses as well. This legislation could force Texas municipalities to find alternative polling locations within voter precincts.
