Relating to notification by the secretary of state when a person convicted of a felony may register to vote.

SB 2227 requires Texas' Secretary of State to proactively notify individuals convicted of felonies when they regain eligibility to register to vote. The bill mandates that, upon determining a person is no longer disqualified under Election Code Section 13.001(a)(4), the Secretary must send a plain-language notice including voting eligibility requirements, registration instructions, and a voter application. This notification must be provided in writing and posted on the Secretary's website. The law applies only to offenses committed on or after its effective date (September 1, 2025) and does not change the eligibility rules themselves - only the process for informing affected individuals.
