Relating to a person submitting proof of citizenship to verify eligibility to vote in Texas.
HB 1670 requires Texas voters to submit proof of citizenship when registering to vote. This directly affects anyone registering to vote in Texas, as the bill amends election code to mandate citizenship verification during registration. The law sets a deadline for the state to request federal changes to mail voter registration forms by January 2026, or the Attorney General must pursue legal enforcement. The requirement takes effect September 1, 2025.
