Right to Vote Act: Protecting Your Access to Federal Elections
This act aims to protect your right to vote in federal elections. It sets rules that make it harder for governments to implement changes that could make casting your ballot unfairly difficult, providing citizens with tools to defend their voting rights in court.
Key points
Governments cannot make voting harder than before in federal elections unless it's absolutely necessary and there's no less burdensome way.
If a change significantly hinders voting, the government must prove it serves an important purpose.
Citizens can sue governments in court if they believe their right to vote is being violated by undue burdens, and these cases are to be expedited.
