H.B. No. 295 amends the Election Code to streamline election procedures for voters with outdated residence addresses. Specifically, it modifies Section 15.025(a) to clarify that a voter's registration change becomes effective 30 days after the registrar receives a notice of change or a statement of residence. Additionally, it amends Sections 63.0011(b) and (c) to allow voters who have changed their residence within the same county to vote in their registered precinct, provided they meet certain residency requirements. The bill also removes the requirement for voters to request a change of registration address when submitting their statement to an election officer.

Furthermore, the bill repeals Section 15.025(e), which previously governed the effective date of voter registration changes. The changes introduced by this Act will only apply to notices of a voter's change of address submitted on or after the effective date of the Act. The Act is set to take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds majority vote from both houses of the legislature, or on the 91st day after the legislative session if such a vote is not achieved.
