Know Your Polling Place Act
This bill establishes minimum requirements for notifying individuals of a change in their polling place for a federal election.
Specifically, the bill requires a state that changes an individual's polling place to notify the individual at least seven days before the federal election. However, if the change is made fewer than seven days before the federal election and the individual appears at the previously assigned polling place, the state must make every reasonable effort to enable the individual to vote.
