RESTORE THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT
The right to vote must be protected equally in every state. After key protections of the Voting Rights Act were struck down, states rushed to pass laws making it harder for certain communities to vote. It’s time to restore and modernize federal oversight to ensure every voice counts.
- Reinstate Federal Preclearance
- Mandatory Transparency for Election Laws
- Modernized Oversight Formula
- DOJ Fast-Track Review Powers
- Legal Penalties for Suppression Tactics
- Federal Support for Local Election Access
Why It Matters
Without a strong Voting Rights Act, states are free to pass laws that target minority, low-income, and young voters — often under the guise of “security” or “integrity.” Restoring and modernizing the VRA ensures that voting rights are protected equally in every zip code, not just where officials allow it.
