FACT FOCUS: Texans listed as 'suspense voters' can still cast a ballot if they confirm their address - AP News

More than 1.2 million people, roughly 6.6 percent of Texas' 18 million-plus registered voters, appear on the list maintained by the Texas Secretary of State's office. Social media posts have claimed those listings amount to suspended or canceled registrations, but that is not accurate. Being added to the suspense list does not strip anyone of their registration.

The confusion matters here in Lubbock, where any rumor that registered voters have been quietly cut off can keep people home on Election Day. The claim spread fast online ahead of a recent election cycle, and fact-checkers at the Associated Press traced it back to a misreading of what the list actually does.

For people here who find their name on the suspense list, the path to voting remains open. Showing up and confirming your address is enough to participate. No registration has been canceled, and no ballot is automatically blocked because of the designation. None of them lost the legal right to vote.
