Freedom to Vote Act: Expanding Voting Access and Protecting Elections
A Comprehensive Solution to Safeguard Democracy
The Freedom to Vote Act (formerly the For the People Act) addresses crucial aspects of voting rights, including voter registration, voting access, election integrity, security, redistricting, and campaign finance. This landmark legislation aims to provide a uniform set of voting laws across the United States, significantly expanding voting access for all American citizens.
Combatting Restrictive Voting Bills
In response to a wave of restrictive voting bills enacted in 18 states in 2021, the Freedom to Vote Act serves as a countermeasure to efforts to suppress the vote. By establishing federal standards, it would ensure that every eligible American has the opportunity to participate in elections without undue barriers or partisan manipulation.
