Relating to confirmation of a voter's residence by a voter registrar.
HB 4253 requires Texas voter registrars to send written confirmation notices to voters under specific circumstances to verify their residence address. This affects voters whose address is a commercial post office box, those who haven’t voted in 25 months after a general election, or when registrars suspect a residence change. The bill mandates that registrars notify voters to confirm their current address, with no change to voting eligibility or rights. It takes effect September 1, 2025.
