Requires all ballots to be received by Election Day instead of after.
The problem
Some states count ballots received after Election Day. This creates uncertainty about final results and questions about election timing and deadlines.
The proposal
The bill would require all ballots to arrive by Election Day to be counted. Mail-in and provisional ballots would need to meet this deadline.
The impact
Voters using mail-in ballots, election officials, and states with different ballot rules would face stricter deadlines and process changes.
All ballots would be received by the same day, so election officials could count votes more quickly. Results could be known sooner without waiting for late-arriving mail ballots.
One standard deadline across all states would eliminate confusion. Voters would know the exact date ballots must arrive.
Having one clear Election Day deadline might reduce arguments about which ballots should count. Everyone follows the same rule.
Ballots delayed by mail would not be counted even if mailed on time. Voters relying on mail could lose their vote through no fault of their own.
Rural areas with slower mail service may have ballots not arrive by Election Day. Urban voters with faster mail delivery would have an advantage.
Stricter deadlines could discourage mail-in voting. Voters unable to vote in person might not participate if they fear their ballot won't arrive.
States control their own election rules. Federal rules on ballot deadlines could reduce state flexibility and conflict with existing state laws.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
