Freedom to Vote Act Reintroduced: Historic Legislation to Protect Voting Rights

National Standards for Voting Rights

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, the Freedom to Vote Act was reintroduced in Congress, marking a significant step towards strengthening democracy and protecting voting rights nationwide. This comprehensive legislation aims to establish national standards for voting rights and election administration, ensuring that every eligible American has an equal opportunity to participate in our electoral process.

Racial Justice and Equity

The Freedom to Vote Act addresses systemic barriers that have historically disenfranchised minority voters. It promotes racial justice and equity by expanding access to early voting, restoring voting rights to formerly incarcerated individuals, and combating voter suppression tactics. These measures are essential to ensuring a fair and inclusive voting system for all Americans.
