HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Nearly two months before Election Day, more than one million Texans have been placed on a list that could lead to complications at the polls.<\/p>\n

According to our news partners at the Houston Chronicle<\/a>, about 300,000 Houston voters are on the state’s suspense list.<\/p>\n

That means the state has not been able to confirm their current address.<\/p>\n

Being on the list does not prevent you from voting, but it will require you to fill out extra forms on or before Election Day.<\/p>\n

To find out whether you are on the suspended list, head to the state’s online portal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you are on the suspense list, you’ll need to update your new address before the Oct. 5 deadline.<\/p>\n

If you happen to show up to the polls and are told you’re on the suspense list, you’ll be required to fill out a ‘statement of residence’ form.<\/p>\n
