Ballots by Election Day Act requires ballots in federal elections to be received by the close of polls on election day.

The Ballots by Election Day Act amends the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to mandate that all ballots, including absentee and mail-in ballots, must be received by the appropriate election official no later than the time polls close on the date of the election. This change applies to all federal elections, including primaries, runoffs, and special elections. The Act specifies that ballots received after polls close will not be accepted for tabulation, with an exception for ballots cast by absent uniformed services voters and overseas voters.
