Texas Admits Voter Registration System TEAM Fell Short, Plans Independent Audit and Working Group

Sunday, November 8, 2026 · States · GSM News

TEXAS — Texas officials have acknowledged that TEAM, the statewide voter registration management system, has not performed as expected, and the state plans an independent audit of the system.

According to Votebeat, the state notified county election officials of the plan this week; a request for proposals for the independent audit was issued on November 4, and a working group will be formed to improve the system, with meetings scheduled from December into January. The state has also rolled out a new ticketing system so county officials can track the progress of TEAM-related issues.

TEAM, launched by the vendor Civix in the summer of 2025 to manage voter registration data statewide, has been plagued by problems since rollout, with county election offices facing persistent obstacles in daily operations. The audit marks the state's first public admission that the system fell short, along with a commitment to fix it in coordination with county election officials.
