TX HB3936

Requires county registrars to cancel all voter registrations on January 1 following each presidential election (every four years), with no option to challenge or reinstate these cancellations

Mandates that any person wishing to vote after the mass cancellation must submit a new voter registration application under Chapter 13 of the Election Code

Changes initial voter registration certificates to expire on January 1 immediately following the next gubernatorial election, rather than the following January 1 of an even-numbered year

Requires registrars to issue renewal voter registration certificates between November 15 and December 6 of each gubernatorial election year, with certificates valid until January 1 following the next presidential election

Shortens the suspense list period for inactive voters, triggering registration cancellation on January 1 following the first general election after placement on the list (previously the second general election)

Takes effect September 1, 2025, with new expiration rules applying to applications received on or after that date
