As the upcoming elections draw near, it has been revealed that a staggering number of over 54,000 voters are currently on the suspension list in Fort Bend County. County officials have reported that there are approximately 54,343 names on this list.
The inclusion of these voters on the suspension list may have been prompted by various reasons, such as address issues resulting from individuals relocating and failing to update their information. For example, every two years, the county sends out new voter registration certificates. If a certificate is returned by the post office due to an incorrect address, the voter is placed on the suspension list.
Additionally, on an annual basis, the county conducts a database comparison with the National Change of Address registry. If a voter is found to be registered in another county or state, they are added to the suspension list in Fort Bend County.
Individuals on the suspension list will remain there for two federal elections before being removed. Voters have until October 7th to update their information before the November election.
Any online changes to names and/or addresses must be submitted at least 30 days before an election. To make these changes online, please visit https://txapps.texas.gov/tolapp/sos/SOSACManager.
