Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Tuesday is set to sign into law voting restrictions that Republican backers say are intended to combat voter fraud but that critics contend are aimed at making it harder for Democratic-leaning minorities to cast ballots.

The new law, which Abbott is due to sign at a ceremony in the East Texas city of Tyler, will prohibit drive-through and 24-hour voting locations and will add new identification requirements for mail-in voting. Abbott and other Texas Republicans have said that the measure balances election integrity with ease of voting.
