HB 80 Texas House · 89th Legislature, 1st Called Session (2025)

Relating to the provision of the reason for rejecting a voter registration application.

HB 80 requires Texas election registrars to provide specific written or oral reasons when rejecting voter registration applications. It mandates that registrars identify exactly which section(s) of the application caused rejection (e.g., incomplete, improperly filled, or containing ineligible information) rather than giving vague explanations. This change directly affects voters whose applications are denied and election officials processing registrations. The bill amends Texas Election Code Section 13.073 and takes effect 91 days after the legislative session ends.
