Ballots by Election Day Act
A bill to amend the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to require ballots in elections for Federal office to be received by the close of the polls on the date of election.
This bill aims to change the Help America Vote Act of 2002 by making sure ballots for Federal elections are received by the time polls close on election day. This would mean that all votes cast on election day need to be counted on the same day.
This change would affect everyone who votes in Federal elections. It would ensure that votes are processed quickly, making election results more timely and transparent.
The bill was introduced on July 15, 2026, and has been referred to the Committee on Rules and Administration for further review. It is currently in its initial stages, with no further actions taken yet.
