Maximum 30-Minute Wait Time to Vote: New Election Rights
This law establishes a federal requirement that no citizen should wait longer than 30 minutes to cast a ballot in federal elections. It mandates better allocation of voting machines and staff, especially in areas historically affected by long lines. If the 30-minute limit is violated, citizens gain the right to sue the state and receive compensation.
