Texas Secretary of State Office sets limits on voter registration forms due to supply chain issues
CNN
The Texas Secretary of State's Office says it has only a limited amount of voter registration applications due to supply chain issues increasing the cost of paper.
The office ordered its first bulk supply of 128,000 voter registration forms on November 8 and received that shipment just last week, Texas Secretary of State spokesman Sam Taylor told CNN.
The development comes as voting rights groups in Texas are already calling on voters to be proactive about educating themselves on the state's new election law passed by the Republican-led state Legislature and signed by Gov. Greg Abbott in September. The law restricts the hours that counties can offer early voting and blocks them from sending unsolicited mail-in voting applications -- even to those who are older than 65 and therefore qualify automatically to vote by mail. Hundreds of mail-in ballot applications have been rejected in some of Texas' largest counties because of the new law, according to multiple election officials.
