What this bill would do
This bill, titled the "Same Day Registration Act of 2025," aims to amend the Help America Vote Act of 2002. It would require each State to allow eligible individuals to register to vote on the day of a Federal election or during early voting periods. These individuals could register at a polling place or update their existing registration information. The requirement applies to all Federal elections unless the State already has a law in effect that has no voter registration requirement for Federal offices. States must comply by the regularly scheduled general election in November 2026.
