Congress Will Have to Act To Protect Voting Rights

The Freedom to Vote Act is Historic Pro-Voter Legislation to Strengthen Our Democracy

Congress has the legal and constitutional power to strengthen our democracy by passing the Freedom to Vote Act.

The Freedom to Vote Act is major pro-democracy legislation that sets national standards to expand and protect voting rights. The bill would make it easier for Americans to register to vote and cast a ballot, and would prevent states from engaging in voter suppression and other anti-democratic practices.

The Freedom to Vote Act shores up the freedom to vote and strengthens American democracy. It sets baseline national standards to protect the right to vote for all eligible Americans, no matter where they live or what party they belong to.

The reintroduced Freedom to Vote Act would prevent voter suppression, gerrymandering, and election denial. It includes measures to expand access to voting by mail, make Election Day a national holiday, and give voters more time to register and cast a ballot.
