Freedom to Vote Act Reintroduced in Congress
Landmark Voting Rights Protections Revived
Comprehensive Democracy Reform Act
The Freedom to Vote Act (FTVA) has been reintroduced in Congress, signaling Democrats' unwavering commitment to ensuring every American has a voice in our democracy.
As the first stage of the legislative process, the FTVA would expand Americans' access to the ballot box and reduce the influence of big money in politics.
The FTVA includes:
- Mandatory criteria for states when drawing congressional districts
- Expansion of early voting and no-excuse absentee voting
- Protections against partisan gerrymandering
- Restrictions on dark money in elections
- Enhancements to voter registration and protection
The FTVA reflects the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965 and would be the most comprehensive democracy reform law enacted in recent history. By reintroducing this bill, Congress demonstrates its dedication to safeguarding our voting rights and strengthening our democracy.
