Bill > S2615

This bill, the Right to Vote Act, aims to protect the fundamental right to vote in elections for federal office. It prohibits governments from diminishing or substantially impairing the ability to vote, unless such actions are the least restrictive means to significantly further an important government interest. The bill provides for judicial review of alleged violations, with courts applying specific standards. It also expands attorney's fee provisions and defines key terms like "government" and "vote." The effective dates section clarifies that the bill applies to actions taken after the 2020 federal election, both for retrogression (diminishing the ability to vote) and substantial impairment.
