SUMMARY: Texas, one of the fastest-growing states, had a population of over 31.2 million in July 2024. Registered voters reached more than 18.2 million by January 2025, up 60% since 2000. Voter registration increased unevenly: suburban counties like Kaufman grew sharply (30%), while some rural counties, like Kenedy, saw declines. Harris County added the most voters—over 203,000 in four years. Central Texas counties saw an 11.2% increase in registrations, with Hays County up 22%.
