“Suspense” Status is an Address Question, Not a Removal

Recent headlines covering the roughly 1.2 million Texas voter records currently in "suspense" status have given the mistaken impression that these voters' registrations have been permanently suspended or cancelled. They have not.

Here's what Texas voters need to know about the "suspense" process:

• A voter is placed on "suspense" when the county voter registrar has reason to believe the voter no longer lives at the address on file.
• This usually happens because the voter's registration certificate that is automatically mailed out every two years is returned as undeliverable.
• When this happens, Texas law requires the county voter registrar to send a forwardable confirmation notice requesting the voter confirm a current resident address, and the voter is placed on the suspense list.
• A voter who has not moved, or who has moved within the same county, may vote after completing a Statement of Residence – at the polling place or with a mail ballot.
• The voter may be directed to their assigned precinct to complete the form and cast a ballot.
• A voter who has moved to a different county and does not re-register by October 5 may still be eligible to vote a limited ballot – but only during the Early Voting period at Denton County Election Administration.
• A voter's registration is not cancelled for non-response alone until a voter has remained in suspense through two consecutive federal general elections without responding or voting.
• Denton County voters can check their registration status on our website, https://www.votedenton.gov/voter-information/voter-lookup/ , or contact Denton County Elections at 940-349-3200 to resolve any outstanding questions about their voter registration status.

Texans move fairly frequently, both within their own county and across the state. As such, it is not abnormal to have a high number of voters whose addresses have not been verified as current within the past two years. The number of suspense voters currently being reported is consistent with and often lower than what Texas has seen in recent election cycles:

• In March 2026, Texas had 1.2 million voters in "suspense" status out of 18.6 million registered voters.
• In November 2024, Texas had 2 million voters in "suspense" status out of 18.6 million registered voters.
• In March 2024, Texas had 2.1 million registered voters in "suspense" status out of 17.9 million registered voters.
• In November 2022, Texas had 1.8 million voters in "suspense" status out of 17.6 million registered voters.
• In March 2022, Texas had 1.2 million voters in "suspense" status out of 17.1 million registered voters.
• In November 2020, Texas had 1.6 million voters in "suspense" status out of 16.9 million registered voters.
• In March 2020, Texas had 2 million voters in "suspense" status out of 16.2 million registered voters.

Happy Fourth of July!

As we celebrate Independence Day, we also proudly commemorate the 250th anniversary of the founding of our great nation. Today is a time to reflect on the freedoms and opportunities we enjoy as Americans and to remember the sacrifices made to secure them.

Among our most cherished rights is the right to vote - a cornerstone of our democracy and a responsibility that generations of Americans have fought to protect. Every election is an opportunity for citizens to have their voices heard and to help shape the future of our communities, our state, and our nation.

To commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States and the 180th anniversary of the founding of Denton County, we designed a special "I Voted" sticker that will be available during the November 3, 2026 General Election. The only way to get one is to vote!

Wishing everyone a safe, joyful, and patriotic Fourth of July!

Heads up, mail ballot voters!

For the March 3, 2026 Primary Election, the last day to submit an Application for Ballot by Mail (ABBM) is February 20, 2026.

Your voted mail ballot must be received by the Elections Office no later than Wednesday, March 4, 2026, provided it is postmarked by 7:00 p.m. on Election Day, Tuesday, March 3, 2026.

Please be aware that the U.S. Postal Service has implemented internal operational changes that may result in some mail not being postmarked on the same day it is deposited at a local post office. This could impact whether a mail ballot meets the postmark deadline.

To avoid any issues:

Submit your application for a mail ballot as early as possible.

Return your voted ballot as early as possible. Do not wait until the last day.

If you are mailing your ballot close to Election Day, you may take it directly to a post office counter and request a manual postmark to ensure it receives a timely postmark.
