Plain-English Summary
This bill would change voting rules so that mail-in ballots must arrive at election offices by the time polls close on Election Day to be counted in federal elections, rather than allowing ballots that arrive after Election Day to be counted. The change would affect voters who use mail-in ballots, election officials who process them, and potentially the outcomes of close races where late-arriving ballots currently matter. States would need to update their ballot-counting procedures to comply with this earlier deadline.
