HB 5101 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; imposing a civil penalty.

HB 5101 would automatically cancel all Texas voter registrations on November 30 following each presidential election, replacing the current system where registrations expire after the next general election. Voters who move or don’t update their address within 30 days of receiving a confirmation notice would need to submit a written response or vote a limited ballot to avoid cancellation. The bill also requires voter registration materials to explain address change procedures and adds a civil penalty for failing to confirm residence. This directly affects Texas voters who do not update their address information within the specified timeframe after receiving a confirmation notice.
