2020 State Bar and TYLA Elections
Voting is now open for the 2020 State Bar of Texas and Texas Young Lawyers Association elections.
Voting will be online only for the 2020 State Bar of Texas and Texas Young Lawyers Association elections because of uncertainty regarding the ability of the State Bar’s election vendor to receive and process paper ballots during the coronavirus pandemic. To ensure members have ample time to vote, the Nominations and Elections Subcommittee of the State Bar Board agreed to extend the voting period by one month. Online ballots will be accepted from April 1 until 5 p.m. CDT May 29. The Supreme Court signed an order to implement this change. Assistance will be available for those who need help voting online.
Note: A small number of firms have reported difficulty accessing the ballot on the voting website using their firm’s network computer systems. In these cases, the firm’s network security firewall settings were not allowing members to vote on the website, but members could access the website using their mobile devices or home networks.
