The Safe and Fair Elections Act of 2026 requires states to permit the counting of early votes before Election Day in all federal elections starting in 2027, allowing election officials to process ballots cast in advance rather than waiting until Election Day itself to expedite the reporting of results. The bill includes a nonseverability clause stating that if any part of the legislation is ruled unconstitutional or invalid by a court, the entire act becomes void rather than just the problematic provision. This legal strategy forces courts to either uphold the complete bill or invalidate it entirely, with no option to preserve some provisions while striking down others.
