Relating to requiring county use of the statewide computerized voter registration list.
SB 2382 requires Texas counties to use the statewide computerized voter registration list developed under state law for election-related voter lists, rather than contracting with private vendors. It mandates that counties must contract directly with the Secretary of State for this service, eliminating the previous option to use independently approved private systems. This bill affects all Texas county election offices responsible for maintaining voter registration data. The law takes effect September 1, 2025, applying only to new contracts entered after that date.
