S.4884

The Right to Vote Act protects citizens' fundamental right to vote in federal elections.

The Right to Vote Act establishes the fundamental right of every citizen of legal voting age to vote in federal elections. It prohibits any government from imposing undue burdens on this right. The Act outlines specific standards for judicial review, including prohibiting retrogression and substantial impairment of voting rights. Retrogression refers to any new law or action that makes voting more difficult than it was in the November 2024 election, while substantial impairment refers to any law or action that makes voting substantially more difficult.
