Texas reverts to tougher penalties for voter fraud with up to twenty years in prison
Texas has taken a strong stance against voter fraud by reinstating tougher penalties for the offense. The state's new law, HB 1243, which came into effect on September 1, 2023, makes voter fraud a second-degree felony, carrying a maximum prison sentence of up to twenty years. The aim of this change is to enhance election integrity and send a clear message against fraudulent activities.
