A bill titled the Ballots by Election Day Act was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives. It was referred to the House Committee on House Administration.
Why it matters: This is a procedural change regarding election administration. It would standardize a specific deadline for receiving physical ballots across the country. While it touches on a high-profile topic, the bill is currently just a proposal. It does not change any current laws or rules until it passes both chambers and is signed by the President.
Who it affects
- State election officials in states that currently count late-arriving mail-in ballots.
