What About The May 2025 Election?

Early voting starts on Tuesday, April 22 and ends on Tuesday, April 29.

Go to your County Elections website to check your registration status. Check that your registration is in Active status. If you are in Suspense status, you can update your voter address online. You can still vote if you are in Suspense status, but it's quick to update your voter record online.

Why Research Election Bill Voter Impacts?

1. Multi-millions of Texans could be impacted by changes to election administration and voter list maintenance practices.

2. The public and elected officials should understand the consequences of the bill on the ability of Texans to vote.

3. Voter impacts are required to provide state funding for resources for implementation and voter education.

4. Documented research on impacts to Texans by district can become part of the legislative record and used in future court cases.
