Bill Summary
Relating to the cancellation of a person's voter registration on notice that the person has acknowledged that the person is not a citizen.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Texas Election Code to allow for the cancellation of a person's voter registration upon receiving notice that the person has acknowledged they are not a U.S. citizen. Specifically, it adds a new provision (Section 16.031(a)(8)) to the list of grounds for immediate cancellation of a voter's registration. It also requires the county clerk to send a monthly list of persons excused or disqualified from jury service due to citizenship status to the voter registrar, county election official, Secretary of State, and the county/district attorney for investigation of potential election offenses. The bill repeals an existing section (16.0332) related to the process for canceling registrations based on citizenship status.
