The #JohnLewisVRAA would modernize the Voting Rights Act of 1965 by protecting voters from race-based discrimination and help all U.S. voters experience fair elections.
Today, we celebrate the reintroduction of the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, which restores the protections we need to stop racial discrimination in voting and ensures we can all make our voice heard.

The #JohnLewisVRAA requires states and jurisdictions with a recent history of voter suppression to gain Federal approval before changing their voting laws. The bill also requires every state to gain Federal approval before enacting voting policies that disproportionately affect communities of color.

By restoring and modernizing the Voting Rights Act, the #JohnLewisVRAA would ensure everyone has access to the ballot box and can fully participate in our democracy.
