The bill, H.B. No. 2619, proposes the implementation of an electronic voter registration program in Texas, allowing individuals to complete their voter registration applications online through the official state website. The Secretary of State is tasked with ensuring that both the state and Department of Public Safety websites provide access to this application. The bill outlines specific requirements for applicants, including those with state-issued driver's licenses or personal identification cards, who must attest to the truth of their application information and consent to the use of their digital signature. For those without such identification, the process involves printing, signing, and mailing a registration application.

Additionally, the bill mandates that a digital copy of the applicant's signature be obtained for those registering electronically with a state-issued ID, while providing alternative instructions for those without such identification. It also emphasizes the need for security measures to maintain the integrity of electronically submitted applications and requires that the registration website includes information about potential offenses related to voter registration. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
