HB 3247 proposes to establish an electronic voter registration system in Texas. It mandates the Secretary of State to collaborate with the Department of Public Safety and the Department of Information Resources to create an online platform where individuals can complete and submit voter registration applications. The bill stipulates that applicants with an unexpired Texas driver’s license or personal identification card must consent to using their digital signature from these documents for registration purposes. Those without such identification must digitally sign their applications before submission. The bill also requires the system to include additional security measures to ensure the accuracy and integrity of applications, authenticate identities, and inform users about penalties for fraudulent registration. Furthermore, the legislation modifies deadlines for processing voter registration applications, reducing the waiting period for registration effectiveness from 30 days to 23 days.
