A claim circulating on social media for the past few weeks suggests that more than 1.2 million Texas voters listed in “suspense” status have been suspended from voting.
That claim is false.
A “suspense” designation generally means election officials need the voter to confirm or update a residential address- often because official election mail was returned possibly as undeliverable. However, it does not automatically mean the voter’s registration was canceled or that the person cannot vote.
Still, voters should not ignore the designation.
