Know Your Polling Place Act
This bill requires states to notify registered voters at least 7 days before federal elections if their polling place has changed from the previous federal election. If a polling place change occurs less than 7 days before an election, states must make reasonable efforts to allow voters to cast ballots at their previous polling location on election day. It applies to all voters affected by such changes for federal races (e.g., presidential, congressional), with requirements taking effect for elections on or after January 1, 2026. The bill amends the Help America Vote Act to establish these notification standards, directly impacting voters and state election administrators.
