Relating to voter registration.
SB 892 creates an online voter registration system for Texas residents with a valid driver's license or state ID, allowing them to submit applications or updates via a secure website that matches information with Department of Public Safety records. It lowers the voter registration age to 17 years and 10 months (allowing 17-year-olds to register before turning 18) and permits same-day registration and voting at polling places by submitting a registration application and presenting a photo ID showing current address. The bill also requires two voter registrars at each polling location during voting hours and shortens the deadline for counting provisional ballots from 10 to 9 days.
