Bill > HB3367

This bill modifies Texas election law to streamline voter identification and registration processes. The key changes include requiring voters to present a non-expired driver's license or personal identification card issued by the Department of Public Safety when voting, eliminating previous provisions for alternative forms of identification or reasonable impediment declarations. The bill removes the option to use election identification certificates and statements of residence, and modifies how voters' addresses are verified at polling places. When voting, election officers will now compare the voter's stated address with their registered voter list and driver's license address, with voters whose addresses do not match being allowed to cast only provisional ballots. The bill also updates early voting ballot application requirements, removing references to election identification certificates and simplifying identification verification processes. Additionally, the legislation repeals several existing sections of election and transportation code related to identification and voting procedures, with the changes set to take effect on September 1, 2025. These modifications appear aimed at standardizing and potentially tightening voter identification requirements in Texas.
