Requires voters to be affiliated with a political party to vote in that party's primary election or participate in its affairs; creates a criminal.

This bill amends the Texas Election Code to require voters to be affiliated with a political party to vote in that party's primary election or participate in its affairs. It mandates that voter registration certificates and lists of registered voters must indicate the voter's party affiliation. Voters who do not indicate an affiliation will be listed as "independent" and unable to vote in a party's primary. The bill also creates a criminal offense for knowingly voting or participating in a party's activities without being affiliated with that party.
