Voting & Civic
As of October — Voting rules continue to change ahead of the November 2026 elections. Several states have added proof-of-citizenship, voter ID, and other requirements, while others have expanded early voting and strengthened state voting-rights protections. The federal government has also sought access to state voter data and changes to mail-voting procedures, although courts have blocked several of those efforts, including new U.S. Postal Service requirements for the November election.
