This snapshot details developments in voting and election laws across the country as of April 30, 2026.
Preregistration is a policy that allows eligible people as young as 16 to sign up to be registered to vote once they turn 18. Preregistration increases turnout and engagement for young voters, who are historically the least likely to exercise their right to vote.
3rd party voter registration drives are often non-partisan, community efforts that encourage and assist people in registering to vote. While almost all states allow voter registration drives, some ban them entirely, and a number of states have implemented restrictions that operate to unduly burden these efforts.
To maintain the accuracy of voter lists, states utilize a number of methods, such as removing voters who have moved or died, or more aggressive tactics which can result in unwarranted removal from registration lists, including removal from registration lists based solely on a voter’s inactivity in recent elections.
This map tracks the landscape of proof of citizenship laws, which require individuals to provide documents such as a passport or original birth certificate to be registered to vote. These laws disproportionately impact marginalized communities, create immense administrative and cost burdens on election officials, and disrupt current registration systems.
