What this bill would do

This legislation is titled the Same Day Registration Act. It amends the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to require states to let eligible individuals register to vote on the day of a federal election and on any day when early voting is permitted. Under Section 2, states must allow these individuals to register at the polling place and cast a vote, or revise their current registration information. States are also required to make sure that registration forms are available at each polling place. The rules apply starting with the regularly scheduled general election in November 2026, though special location rules apply for elections held before November 2030. States that have no voter registration requirements at all for federal elections are exempt from these rules.
