VOTE Act

The VOTE Act requires states to notify voters at least seven days before a federal election if their polling place has changed, using mail, phone, text, or email. It mandates that states post clear information about new polling locations on official websites, social media, and at former polling sites, including directions and contact details for election officials. For voters who arrive at their old polling place on election day, states must make reasonable efforts to allow them to vote. The law applies to all states for elections held on or after January 1, 2026, and requires notices to comply with language assistance rules under the Voting Rights Act.
