Relating to election procedures regarding accepting a voter with a residence address that is not current and the immediate effect of a voter's registration after the registrar's receipt of certain change of address notices.

HB 296 modifies Texas election rules for voters who change their residence within a county but haven't updated their registration. It requires voters to submit a signed statement confirming their new address and residency before voting in their current precinct, with registration changes taking effect 30 days after submitting the notice. The bill directly affects voters who move within a county but haven't completed registration updates, ensuring they can vote while their address change processes. It repeals a previous provision allowing immediate registration changes and applies only to address notices submitted on or after the bill's effective date.
