Same Day Registration Act

This bill would require each state to let eligible people register to vote, or update their registration, at the polling place on Election Day and on any early voting day for federal elections, and then cast a vote. States must keep the needed registration forms at every polling place. States with no voter registration requirement are exempt. The rules start with the November 2026 general election, but through 2028 a state can comply by offering same day registration at no fewer than one location per 15,000 registered voters in each jurisdiction, and a state that certifies full compliance is impracticable by November 7, 2028 can use that option until the November 2030 general election.
