Summary
The Voter Empowerment Act of 2026 directs every state to offer online voter registration, automatic registration, same‑day registration, and to accept applications from people under 18. It also expands voting options by mandating early voting, mail voting, secured ballot drop boxes, and special absentee procedures for voters with disabilities. The bill limits removal of voters from rolls, bans voter‑caging, restores voting rights for most people with felony convictions, and permanently reauthorizes the Election Assistance Commission to fund these changes.
