Universal Right To Vote by Mail Act of 2025

This proposal, called the Universal Right To Vote by Mail Act of 2025, would let every eligible voter choose to vote by mail in federal elections. It blocks states from adding extra hurdles to get or cast a mail ballot, though states can still set deadlines for asking for a ballot and for returning it. It also requires states to tell voters if there’s a problem with their mail ballot and give them a chance to fix it. The bill does this by changing the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to make mail voting an option for all eligible voters in federal elections.
