Relating to requiring a voter to be affiliated with a political party to vote in that party's primary election or otherwise participate in that party's affairs; creating a criminal offense.

This bill requires Texas voters to declare their political party affiliation when registering to vote, adding a new field to voter registration forms. It mandates that applicants state their party affiliation (or indicate none) as part of the registration process under Election Code Section 13.002(c)(11). Providing false information about party affiliation would be considered perjury under criminal law, as specified in the bill's amendments to Section 13.122(a). The change directly affects anyone registering to vote in Texas, making party affiliation a required part of the registration application.
