Bill > HJR49

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to the Texas Constitution that would require individuals to provide proof of citizenship when registering to vote. Specifically, the resolution would add a new subsection to Article VI, Section 2, mandating that any person wishing to register to vote must submit both a voter registration application and documentation demonstrating their citizenship to the county registrar. The proposed amendment would be submitted to Texas voters for approval at a statewide election on November 4, 2025, with ballot language explicitly stating the requirement for citizenship proof. If approved by voters, this amendment would create a new legal requirement for voter registration in Texas, potentially aimed at ensuring that only citizens can register and vote in the state's elections.
