This bill mandates the verification of citizenship for voter registration applicants in Texas, effective Sept. 1, 2025. Applicants must provide proof of citizenship, such as an unexpired passport, certified birth certificate, or U.S. citizenship papers, when submitting their voter registration application in person to the Department of Public Safety. If the application is submitted by other means, the registrar will forward the applicant's information to the secretary of state for citizenship verification.
