Same Day Voter Registration Mandate for Federal Elections.

This law requires all States to allow eligible citizens to register to vote or update their registration information directly at the polling place on the day of a Federal election or during early voting. This change removes the barrier of pre-registration deadlines, making it significantly easier for citizens who missed the cutoff to participate in Federal elections. These requirements take effect starting with the general election in November 2026.
