Same Day Registration Act
This bill requires states to allow eligible voters to register or update their registration at polling places on election day or during early voting for federal elections. It mandates that states provide the necessary registration forms at all polling locations and ensures voters can cast a ballot immediately after registering. The law applies to all states (except those already without voter registration requirements for federal elections) and takes effect for the 2026 general election, with phased implementation for earlier elections. States must meet specific location requirements to comply before 2028, and can seek extensions for 2028-2030 elections by certifying impracticality.
