得克萨斯州选务部门近日澄清,该州超过120万名选民被列入"暂停名单"并非禁止投票的措施1。这一数字占得州1800万注册选民的6.6%,截至2026年3月1。社交媒体用户曾声称这代表选举被篡改,但事实上被列入暂停名单的选民只需确认地址即可正常行使投票权1。
暂停名单制度已运行超过30年,是得州维持选民登记名单准确性的例行工作1。得克萨斯州选务办公室发言人表示:"这一过程没有什么新的,数字与之前选举周期一致"1。根据州法和联邦法律,选民只有在收到登记可能被取消的通知后,经过两个联邦选举周期仍无响应或投票活动,才会被从名单中移除1。
为了参加投票,选民需在10月5日的登记截止日期前检查自己的状态并更新地址1。这一做法的历史数据显示,2022年中期选举前有123.9万名选民在暂停名单上,2024年选举前这一数字上升至211.7万名1。
More than 1.2 million Texans have been placed on a "suspense voter" list, representing 6.6 percent of the state's 18 million registered voters as of March 2026.1 Social media users have claimed this designation represents evidence of election tampering, but the designation does not prevent these voters from casting ballots.1 Voters listed as suspended need only confirm their address to vote normally.1
The suspense voter process is a routine maintenance procedure that has been in operation for more than 30 years to maintain accurate voter registration rolls.1 The number of voters on the suspense list has grown in recent election cycles: 1,239,812 voters were on the list before the 2022 midterm elections, compared to 2,116,669 before the 2024 elections.1 Alicia Pierce, a spokesperson for the Texas Secretary of State's office, stated: "This process is nothing new, and the numbers are consistent with previous election cycles."1
Under both state and federal law, voters are only removed from the registration rolls after receiving notification that their registration may be canceled and then failing to respond or engage in voting activity for two consecutive federal election cycles.1 Voters must check their status and update their address before the October 5 registration deadline.1
