SB 977 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to electronic voter registration.

SB 977 creates a program allowing Texas voters to complete registration applications online through the state's official website. It requires applicants with a Texas driver's license or ID card to affirm the accuracy of their information and consent to use their license signature; those without such ID must provide a digital signature. The bill mandates security measures, including verifying identity through the state's electronic portal and displaying voter fraud information prominently on the registration site. The system will function as equivalent to mail-in applications, with rules to ensure accuracy and integrity, effective September 1, 2025.
