More specifically, the official text was summarized by the state legislature as ’’Relating to the display of certain information on the secretary of state's Internet website prior to the completion of an online voter registration application’’.
The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
This bill amends Section 31.016 of the Election Code to establish requirements for the secretary of state's website if an online voter registration application process is adopted. It mandates that upon completing an online voter registration application, the website must display a message requiring applicants to electronically acknowledge that completing the application does not equate to being registered to vote and that the application must be submitted to the appropriate voter registrar.
