Relating to election procedures regarding accepting a voter with a residence address that is not current and the immediate effect of a voter's registration after the registrar's receipt of certain change of address notices.

HB 297 modifies Texas election procedures for voters with outdated address information. It allows voters who have moved within their county to vote immediately in their current precinct by submitting a statement to election officials, which must include proof of residence, all required voter registration details, and the submission date. This statement replaces the standard 30-day waiting period for address changes, though the registration update becomes official 30 days after submission. The bill applies only to address change notices submitted on or after its effective date and repeals an existing election code section.
