Same Day Registration Act of 2025

# Same Day Registration Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The Same Day Registration Act of 2025 would allow eligible voters to register and cast their ballots on Election Day itself, rather than requiring advance registration. Currently, most states require voters to register days or weeks before elections. If passed, this bill would establish a federal standard permitting same-day registration nationwide. **Who It Affects and Key Provisions** This legislation would impact all voters and election officials across the country.

The bill would streamline voting access by eliminating advance registration deadlines, potentially removing a barrier that some voters face due to missed deadlines, address changes, or lack of awareness. Election officials would need to process registrations and votes simultaneously on Election Day. **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee (as of the 119th Congress), meaning it has been referred to the relevant House committee but has not yet been voted on by the full chamber. The bill was introduced by Representative Julia Brownley, a Democrat from California.
