The Know Your Polling Place Act amends federal voting law to require states to notify voters when their assigned polling place changes from one election to the next. States must provide this notification at least seven days before Election Day, or if a change occurs with less than a week's notice, must make reasonable efforts to allow voters who show up at their old polling location to still cast a ballot on Election Day. The bill applies to all federal elections and takes effect on January 1, 2026. This legislation aims to prevent voter confusion and ensure eligible citizens can vote even when states relocate polling places, which can be particularly disruptive in communities with frequent polling place changes.
