        shall be required to comply with the requirements of this 
        section for the regularly scheduled general election for 
        Federal office occurring in November 2024 and for any 
        subsequent election for Federal office.
            ``(2) Special rules for elections before november 2028.--
                    ``(A) Elections prior to november 2026 general 
                election.--A State shall be deemed to be in compliance 
                with the requirements of this section for the regularly 
                scheduled general election for Federal office occurring 
                in November 2024 and subsequent elections for Federal 
                office occurring before the regularly scheduled general 
                election for Federal office in November 2026 if at 
                least one location for each 15,000 registered voters in 
                each jurisdiction in the State meets such requirements, 
                and such location is reasonably located to serve voting 
                populations equitably across the jurisdiction.

                general election.--If a State certifies to the 
                Commission not later than November 3, 2026, that the 
                State will not be in compliance with the requirements 
                of this section for the regularly scheduled general 
                election for Federal office occurring in November 2026 
                because it would be impracticable to do so and includes 
                in the certification the reasons for the failure to 
                meet such requirements, the State shall be deemed to be 
                in compliance with the requirements of this section for 
                the regularly scheduled general election for Federal 
                office in November 2026 and subsequent elections for 
                Federal office occurring before the regularly scheduled 
                general election for Federal office in November 2028, 
                if at least one location for each 15,000 registered 
                voters in each jurisdiction in the State meets such 
                requirements, and such location is reasonably located 
                to serve voting populations equitably across the 
                jurisdiction.''.
