Section 172.1114. Distribution of Notice of Conventions

Sec. 172.1114. DISTRIBUTION OF NOTICE OF CONVENTIONS. (a) A political party may prepare a notice not larger than letter-sized for distribution to each voter participating in the party's primary election at the time the voter is accepted for voting.
(b) The notice may include:
(1) information describing the party's convention process;
(2) information detailing the time and place of the party's first-level convention process;
(3) contact information for the county and state political parties; and
(4) website links for information and registration for party conventions.
(c) The state chair of a political party shall prescribe a form for a notice that may be used in any county. A county chair of a political party may prescribe a specific notice for the county chair's county. The same notice must be used in all precincts within a county.
(d) A notice must be approved by the secretary of state. If a county chair of a political party uses the form of notice prescribed by the state chair, only the convention location and time may be added without the secretary of state's approval.
(e) A county chair of a political party shall supply or contract with the authority to supply a notice prepared according to this section to the authority conducting the election not later than the 30th day before the date early voting by personal appearance begins. The authority's preparation of copies is a necessary expense incurred in connection with a primary election under Section 173.001.
(f) The secretary of state shall prescribe procedures and adopt rules as necessary to implement this section.
