Texas HB2245 mandates voter citizenship verification and monthly cross-checks with multiple databases.
HB2245 requires Texas voter registrars to request proof of U.S. citizenship from voters flagged by various agencies. The registrar must send a notice to the voter's address, requesting a certified copy of their birth certificate, U.S. passport, or naturalization certificate. The Secretary of State must then compare the voter registration list against multiple databases, including state birth certificates, the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and the Help America Vote Verification system. This process occurs monthly.
