The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has reinstated multiple provisions of a 2021 Texas election integrity law, including new identification requirements for mail-in ballots and their applications.

The contested provisions are part of a broader voting law enacted by Texas lawmakers. The reinstated rules mandate specific forms of identification from voters utilizing mail-in voting procedures within the state.
