Alicia Pierce Confirms 1.2 Million Texas Voters Are on the State's Suspense List

Alicia Pierce, a spokesperson for the Texas Secretary of State’s office, confirmed that approximately 1.2 million registered voters in Texas are currently on the state's "suspense" list. This status indicates that local election officials are uncertain of a voter's current residential address, often because a voter registration certificate or jury summons was returned as undeliverable by the U.S. Postal Service. Despite the name, being on the suspense list does not mean a voter's registration is suspended or canceled. Voters on this list remain eligible to vote in the upcoming elections. To rectify their status, voters can update their address online via the Secretary of State's website or by contacting their local county voter registrar. Texas voters have until the October 5 deadline to register and update their addresses. If a voter has moved within the same county, they can typically update their address at the poll. However, voters who have moved to a different county may be eligible to vote using a limited ballot during early voting at the county's main election office. If a voter remains on the suspense list for two full election cycles, they will eventually be removed from the voter rolls.
