HB 1321 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to electronic voter registration.

HB 1321 creates a state-run online voter registration system for Texas residents, allowing them to complete and submit registration applications via the official state website starting September 1, 2025. It provides two pathways: applicants with a Texas driver's license or ID card can confirm their information and use their license signature, while others must digitally sign their application. The bill requires the secretary of state to implement security measures, including using the state's electronic portal to verify identity and address, and mandates a clear warning about voter registration offenses on the website. Submitted applications will be treated the same as mailed applications under election law.
