Kansas among nine states to swap voter rolls with Texas in effort to find duplicates, prevent fraud

TOPEKA — Nine states are swapping voter rolls with Texas, and officials say the agreement will “improve the accuracy of voter registration records.”

Kansas Secretary of State Scott Schwab’s office announced the partnership Thursday, describing it as a way to identify duplicate registrations. Schwab, who is running for governor, said the agreement with Texas helps Kansas to maintain accurate voter rolls, which bolsters election integrity and administration.

The basis of Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson’s agreements with Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia is outlined in memoranda that allow the states to exchange voter registration data with Texas while “adhering to strict confidentiality and cybersecurity protocols.”

“This is a common sense step toward cleaner rolls and better election administration,” Schwab said. “We look forward to establishing agreements with other states in the future.”
