VOTE Act

This bill would change the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to set rules for telling voters when their polling place for a federal election changes. States would have to notify affected voters of their new polling place at least 7 days before the election by mail, telephone, and, if available, text message and email, and post general notices online, on social media, and at the old location. Where voters are not assigned to a specific polling place, officials would have to tell voters where all polling places are at least 2 days before early voting begins. If a polling place closes, the state would have to post signs there listing the current polling places and contact information, and notices would have to meet existing language-assistance requirements. The rules would apply to elections held on or after January 1, 2026.
