Voting Rights: No Vaccine Mandates or COVID-19 Passports for Elections

This bill aims to ensure that citizens are not required to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination to vote in federal elections. This means no one can demand a "vaccine passport" or information about your vaccination status to cast your vote in person. The bill allows for mask requirements, but only if masks are provided free of charge and accommodations are made for individuals with disabilities.

Prohibits requiring proof of vaccination or a "vaccine passport" to vote in federal elections.
