SB 1470 - Voter rolls clean-up

SB 1470 requires Texas to use existing government data more efficiently to clean up the state’s voter rolls. When Texans get a driver’s license in another state, it likely means they’ve moved. This bill ensures that the Department of Public Safety shares this data with the Secretary of State, who must use it to identify people who no longer live in Texas and may be voting in two states. It cuts waste by preventing taxpayer dollars from being spent maintaining outdated voter records. The bill also helps guard against fraud and duplication in elections, which promotes confidence in the system. The bill is a low-cost, common-sense reform that uses existing tools to improve government efficiency and election integrity.
