HB 3936 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the cancellation of all voter registrations following each presidential election; making conforming changes to voter registration and maintenance procedures.

HB 3936 would automatically cancel all voter registrations in Texas on January 1 of the year following every presidential election. This affects every registered voter in the state, requiring them to re-register under Chapter 13 of the Election Code after each presidential election cycle. Key provisions include removing the option to challenge these cancellations (Section 16.040(b)), changing registration expiration dates from gubernatorial to presidential elections, and eliminating the suspense list cancellation process previously tied to November 30. The bill makes no changes to voting eligibility requirements or procedures beyond this mandatory re-registration cycle.
