House Bill 3593 amends the Election Code to require the secretary of state to determine what information combinations identified as common to a voter and to an individual who is deceased constitute a weak match or a strong match in order to produce the least possible impact on Texas voters and to fulfill its responsibility to manage the voter rolls. The bill prohibits the secretary of state from making the determination that a voter is deceased based on a weak match and authorizes the secretary of state to determine that a voter is deceased based on a strong match. The bill authorizes the secretary of state to inform the county of the voter's residence that a weak match exists and requires the county to investigate the weak match.
