Bill > HB559

This bill requires the Texas Secretary of State to conduct an annual study on high school deputy registrars' compliance with voter registration requirements. Specifically, the Secretary of State must monitor student voter registration and collect data from both public and private high schools, then publish the results of this study on their official website. The bill will take effect on September 1, 2025, and will apply starting with the 2025-2026 school year. A high school deputy registrar is typically a school official or volunteer authorized to assist students with voter registration processes, and this bill aims to create more transparency and accountability around these registration efforts by mandating an annual comprehensive review and public reporting of registration data.
