A dated list of changes to how Americans vote: district maps, polling places and drop boxes, voting laws and rules, and courts and election officials. Each entry says who did what and when, shows what became of it, and links to the page it rests on. Attempts that failed are listed as failed. Entries that rest on a news report name the outlet.

This is the state view: events recorded for Texas, then national events that apply here. See the national timeline.

  1. Jul 29, 2026 State Laws and rules Reported

    State tells counties to reinstate some voters flagged as possible noncitizens

    The Texas Tribune and Votebeat reported that on July 29, 2026 the Secretary of State's elections director told county officials to reinstate some voters incorrectly flagged as potential noncitizens through the federal SAVE program, after the state compared DPS records for some of the 2,724 registered voters flagged. The report says the state could not yet say how many registrations had been canceled. A Secretary of State press release of September 15, 2026 states that the review found 578 of the 2,724 voters demonstrated citizenship, 506 of them because passport information was added to SAVE after the first run, and that the office "advised counties to reinstate these registrations if they were removed."

Hollins (No. 20-0729), the Texas Supreme Court wrote: "We hold that the Election Code does not authorize an early-voting clerk to send an application to vote by mail to a voter who has not requested one and that a clerk's doing so results in irreparable injury to the State." It reversed the court of appeals and remanded for entry of a temporary injunction prohibiting the Harris County Clerk from mass-mailing unsolicited ballot applications.

How this timeline is built

Every entry rests on at least one source that was opened and read, and that source states the date and the fact. Courts, legislatures, election offices, the Justice Department, the Census Bureau, the Federal Register and Congress.gov come first. A news report is used only when no official page states the fact, and it is labeled with the outlet's name. Encyclopedias are not used as sources. History starts in 1965 with the Voting Rights Act. County names come from the Census Bureau's 2024 Gazetteer. Congressional district numbers are those in use for the 2026 election; an event is tagged to a district only when its source names that congressional district.

When a later event changes an earlier one, such as a law later struck down, both entries are listed and point to each other. This page does not predict outcomes or say which party a change helps.
