Relating to the date on which a voter registration application becomes effective.

SB 1070 changes the effective date for voter registration applications in Texas. It shortens the waiting period from 34 days to 15 days after submission for most applications, meaning registration becomes effective 15 days after the application is received by the election office (instead of 34 days). This directly affects voters who submit applications after the 19th day before an election but before the deadline. The bill also adjusts deadlines for election offices to deliver confirmation notices and clarifies that applications submitted after the bill's effective date follow the new 15-day timeline, while older applications remain under the previous rules.
