SB 1542 enhances voter registration list maintenance by requiring the Secretary of State to use National Change of Address database data and Texas Department of Public Safety address changes to update voter records. It imposes penalties on county voter registrars who fail to maintain accurate voter lists, including allowing the Secretary of State to assume control of a county’s voter registration process after repeated violations. It also creates a Class A misdemeanor offense for voter registrars who repeatedly violate voter list maintenance requirements.
