Vote at Home Act of 2025
The Vote at Home Act of 2025 requires states to mail ballots to all registered voters for federal elections at least two weeks before Election Day, eliminating unnecessary barriers like notary requirements or excuses for voting by mail. It ensures ballots are accessible to voters with disabilities and provides free postage for all mail-in ballots, making voting more convenient for rural voters, those with disabilities, and people with scheduling conflicts. The bill also expands automatic voter registration through motor vehicle offices, streamlining the process while protecting against errors in registration. These changes aim to increase accessibility and participation in federal elections while reducing election administration costs, with states required to comply for elections beginning in 2026.
