HB 2424 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to acceptable forms of photo identification for the purposes of voting.

HB 2424 updates Texas voter ID requirements by specifying five acceptable photo ID types for in-person voting: standard driver's licenses (excluding certain temporary licenses), U.S. military IDs, citizenship certificates, passports, and handgun carry licenses. All must not have expired more than four years before presentation. The bill directly affects voters needing ID at polling places in Texas, clarifying which documents meet requirements under the Election Code. It does not change existing voting procedures beyond defining acceptable ID forms.
