Relating to eligibility requirements for early voting by mail.
HB 4964 modifies Texas election rules for mail-in voting by adding new requirements. It requires voters enrolled in the address confidentiality program (for safety reasons like domestic violence) to submit mail-in ballot applications in person, rather than by mail. The bill also mandates that all mail-in ballot applications include specific identification details, such as a driver's license number, last four SSN digits, or a statement if those are unavailable. These changes directly affect voters using the confidentiality program and all individuals seeking mail-in ballots, adding verification steps to the application process. The bill aims to strengthen voter identification protocols for early voting by mail.
