Show full summary
  • States and election officials: Would need to set up procedures and use the NVRA registration form to accept same-day registrations and updates. Compliance is required for the regularly scheduled November 2026 general election and for later Federal elections.
  • States with no voter registration requirement under state law that remains continuously in effect are exempt from this rule.
  • Legal and administrative updates: The bill adds a new HAVA section for same-day registration and adjusts enforcement and the table of contents to reference the new section.

Same-day voter registration for federal elections

This bill would require states to let eligible voters register or update registration at the polling place and vote the same day. It would apply on Election Day and on any day when early voting is offered for federal races. You would use a registration form that meets National Voter Registration Act rules. States with no voter registration at all, under a law unchanged since enactment, would be exempt. The rule would start with the November 2026 general election, and federal enforcement under existing voting law would apply after that.
