(2) a date determined by the county executive committee that occurs not later than the fifth day after the date of the general primary election.
(b) Consistent with Subsection (c), not later than the date of the regular drawing for position on the general primary election ballot, the county executive committee shall set the hour and place for convening each precinct convention for the precincts served by the committee. If the county executive committee fails to do so, the county chair shall set, consistent with Subsection (c), the hour and place.
(c) If precinct conventions are held on general primary election day, the hour set for convening the conventions may not be earlier than 7 p.m. or later than 9 p.m., but a convention may not convene until the last voter has voted at the precinct polling place. If precinct conventions are held on a day other than general primary election day, the county executive committee shall set the hour for convening or a time frame in which the conventions must convene.
(d) The place selected for a precinct convention must meet the same requirements for access by the elderly and persons with physical disabilities as a polling place under Section 43.034(a).
