House Bill No. 73, introduced by Bucy, aims to enhance the voter registration process in Texas by allowing electronic voter registration. The bill mandates the secretary of state to collaborate with the Department of Public Safety and the Department of Information Resources to create a program enabling individuals to complete their voter registration applications online through the state's official website. It outlines specific requirements for applicants, including those with and without an unexpired driver's license or personal identification card issued in Texas, to attest to the truth of their information and provide a digital signature.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that a digital signature obtained from the Department of Public Safety will fulfill the signature requirement for applications submitted electronically. It also emphasizes the need for the secretary of state to adopt rules to ensure the security and integrity of these electronic applications, including providing information about related offenses on the registration website. The act is set to take effect 91 days after the conclusion of the legislative session.
