H.B. No. 2619 proposes the implementation of electronic voter registration in Texas by adding Section 13.009 to Subchapter A, Chapter 13 of the Election Code. The bill mandates that the Secretary of State establish a program allowing individuals to complete voter registration applications online via the official state website. It outlines specific requirements for applicants with and without state-issued driver's licenses or personal identification cards, including the need to attest to the truth of the information provided and, for those with identification, to consent to the use of their signature for registration purposes. Additionally, the bill stipulates that applications submitted electronically will be treated as if they were submitted by mail.

The legislation also requires the Secretary of State to adopt rules to ensure the security and integrity of electronically submitted applications. These rules must include measures for authenticating the identity of applicants and providing information about the consequences of voter registration offenses. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
