AI Summary
This bill, the Know Your Polling Place Act, amends the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to establish minimum notification requirements for voters affected by polling place changes. Specifically, if a state assigns a registered voter to a different polling place than the one they used in the most recent federal election, the state must notify the voter of the new polling place location at least 7 days before the election. If the change is made less than 7 days before the election and the voter shows up at their previous polling place, the state must make reasonable efforts to enable the voter to cast their ballot on election day. These provisions would apply to elections held on or after January 1, 2022.
