Relating to electronic voter registration.
HB 3247 allows Texas voters to complete registration applications online through the state's official website. It requires applicants with a Texas driver's license or state ID to confirm their information is true and consent to using their license signature for registration, while those without such ID must digitally sign their application. The bill mandates that the online portal include clear warnings about voter registration fraud and use the state's electronic identity verification system to confirm applicants' identity and address. Applications submitted electronically will be treated the same as mail-in applications under election law, with the secretary of state required to establish security rules to protect data integrity.
