NCSL’s election bill roundup notes the shift of this year’s crop:

With most legislatures having adjourned, the number of election bills introduced was 3,160, with 331 of them enacted into law across 43 states, according to NCSL tracking. Although this is a significant increase from the 2,017 bills NCSL tracked at the same point in the 2024 session, the number of enactments last year—218—was only slightly off this year’s count. It’s common to see an increase in election-related legislation following a presidential election, and this has certainly proved true in 2025.

With election bills introduced on a wide range of subjects, some notable trends and consistently popular topics came to the fore. Among a range of enactment trends, citizenship and voter identification continued their 2024 resurgence as areas of high legislative interest, bans on ranked-choice voting continue to increase, and the standardization of election dates stood out.
