## Summary

**Same-day voter registration for Federal elections.** This bill would require States to let eligible people register or update their registration at the polling place and cast a ballot on Election Day and during early voting using the National Voter Registration Act form. - 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.
