The Same Day Registration Act of 2025 requires all states to allow eligible voters to register on Election Day or during any early voting period for federal elections. Under this bill, voters can register at polling places using standard registration forms and immediately cast their ballots, or update existing voter registration information on the spot. The requirement takes effect for the November 2026 general election and applies to all subsequent federal elections, though states with no voter registration requirements are exempted from the mandate. The bill amends the Help America Vote Act of 2002 and does not specify new federal funding or appropriations for implementation. This legislation aims to increase voter participation by removing the barrier of advance registration deadlines.
