Bill > HB392

This bill modifies the Texas Election Code to require county voter registrars to provide more detailed explanations when rejecting a voter registration application. Specifically, when a voter registration application is rejected, the registrar must now specify which section or sections of the application led to the rejection, and for each identified section, explain whether it was incomplete, improperly filled out, or contained information that makes the applicant ineligible to vote. This new requirement aims to provide applicants with clearer, more specific information about why their voter registration was not accepted, potentially helping them understand and address any issues with their application. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, giving election officials time to update their processes and documentation to comply with the new requirements.
