Relating to requiring the address on certain identification documents presented by a voter match the address of the voter on the list of registered voters.
HB 2739 requires that voters presenting certain identification documents at polling places must have an address matching their registered voter address. Specifically, it applies to Texas driver's licenses, election ID certificates, and handgun licenses issued by the Department of Public Safety (as listed in Section 63.0101(a)(1) and (5)). Election officials may no longer accept these documents if the address does not match the voter's registration address. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025, and does not affect other acceptable IDs like military IDs or passports.
