Microsoft has been enhancing Windows 10 search by adding more and more information and by also tweaking its UI in recent times. It has now started to feature US Election related information in Windows Search as can be seen in the screenshot above.
The message can be easily dismissed and is surprisingly available in India too in the Windows search. Perhaps Microsoft forgot to tune this server-side message to be not available outside the US.
If you click on the link provided in the message it takes you to the Bing search Voting registration page. Here you can check your preparedness for voting in the US Elections.
Steps for Voter Registration
