Senator John Thune introduced the Ballots by Election Day Act in the Senate. The bill was read twice and referred to the Committee on Rules and Administration.
Why it matters: This is a procedural change regarding how states handle election logistics. It does not change who can vote or how they cast their ballot, but it standardizes the deadline for when a mail-in ballot must be sent or received to be counted.
