Relating to requiring a person to submit proof of citizenship to register to vote.
HB 4068 requires Texas voters to submit proof of citizenship when registering to vote or when updating their registration. It directly affects all individuals registering to vote in Texas, including existing voters who have not previously provided citizenship proof. The bill specifies acceptable documents (such as a U.S. passport, birth certificate, or Texas REAL ID-compliant license) and creates a new limitation: voters who fail to submit proof by December 1, 2025, will only be eligible to vote federal ballots until they provide documentation. The Texas Secretary of State must notify affected registered voters by that deadline about the requirement and procedures to submit proof.
