HB 1855 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the registration of voters at a polling place and related procedures.

HB 1855 allows eligible voters who are not currently registered to register and vote on election day at their polling place. It requires voters to submit a registration form and present specific ID (like a photo ID with current address or a combination of other documents) to be accepted for voting. Voters using this process must be processed separately from those voting under regular procedures. The bill applies to early voting by personal appearance and general election day voting, effective for elections starting February 1, 2026.
