Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson is investigating a complaint that voters are registering at post office box addresses.Harris County could face state oversight of its voter roll maintenance if an investigation confirms that voters are registering at post office boxes.
Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson announced Tuesday that she had received a complaint alleging Harris County’s voter registrar is allowing voters to register using post office box addresses instead of physical residence addresses as required by law.
Nelson said her office will begin “an immediate investigation.”
“If we find reason to believe the Harris County Elections Office is failing to protect voter rolls or is not operating in the good faith Texans deserve, we will not hesitate to take the next step toward state oversight,” she added.
The complaint was submitted on November 18 by State Sen. Paul Bettencourt (R–Houston), who is a former Harris County voter registrar.
