The 26th Amendment, ratified in 1971, lowered the voting age for all elections to 18, ensuring that young adults have a voice in local governance. Federal laws passed over the years help protect Americans' right to vote and make it easier for citizens to exercise that right, creating a safety net that extends from presidential elections down to the most local races.

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 prohibited voter discrimination based on race, color, or membership in a language minority group. This landmark legislation transformed American democracy by dismantling barriers that had prevented millions of citizens from participating in elections at all levels. It also required certain places to provide election materials in languages besides English, recognizing that language should not be a barrier to civic participation.

These state-level laws often include provisions specifically designed to address local concerns and protect historically marginalized communities.

This legislative package cracks down on deceptive practices that suppress or intimidate voters by increasing penalties for violations of the elective franchise, ensuring that bad actors face real consequences. States are taking voter intimidation seriously, with new laws specifically designed to protect election workers and voters from harassment.

The DOJ is investigating reports of voter intimidation, particularly during early voting periods. This includes physical intimidation, misinformation campaigns, and other tactics designed to discourage certain groups from voting. If you experience or witness intimidation at your polling place, you have the right to report it to election officials and law enforcement.

The Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA) requires jurisdictions responsible for conducting federal elections to provide at least one accessible voting system for persons with disabilities at each polling place in federal elections. While HAVA specifically addresses federal elections, many of its provisions extend to local elections as well, and state laws often mirror or exceed these requirements.

The ADA's provisions apply to all aspects of voting, including voter registration, polling place site selection, election websites, and the casting of ballots, whether on Election Day or during an early voting process, and whether in-person or absentee. This comprehensive coverage means that accessibility must be considered at every stage of the electoral process.

The VRA requires election officials to allow a voter who is blind or has another disability to receive assistance from a person of the voter's choice (other than the voter's employer or its agent or an officer or agent of the voter's union). This protection ensures that voters with disabilities maintain autonomy in choosing who helps them vote, rather than being forced to accept assistance from potentially biased sources.

Ngakhale kuti pali malamulo otetezera, zovuta zikutsala. Kafukufuku wa Boma Accounting Office anapeza kuti 60% ya malo ofufuza anali ndi zopinga kwa ovota okhala ndi zilema, ndipo 65% anali ndi malo ovotera amene sanakhazikidwe kulola voti laumwini ndi la kudziimira. Zimenezi zikugogomezera kufunika kwa ovota kudziŵa zoyenera ndi kulimbikitsa malo ogona.

Where no accessible location is available to serve as a polling place, voters must be provided an alternate means of voting on Election Day. This might include curbside voting, where poll workers bring voting materials to your vehicle, or other accommodations that ensure you can exercise your right to vote.

This applies to any local jurisdiction in New York, for example, a county, city, town, village, or school district, that has a certain number of citizens at least 18 years of age who do not speak or understand English well enough to participate in elections. The locality must provide language assistance, such as translating ballots and voter-registration materials.

A major component of the legislation would incorporate Section 203 of the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965 into California law by requiring certain jurisdictions to provide ballots and election materials in multiple languages when language-minority populations reach specified thresholds. Some states are going even further, lowering these thresholds to ensure more communities receive language assistance.

Our glossaries are available in six languages: Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese, according to the Election Assistance Commission's Language Accessibility Program. These resources help election officials provide translated materials more efficiently, making local elections more accessible to diverse communities.

People who need assistance when voting by reason of disability or limited English proficiency must be able to choose the person who assists them, with few exceptions. The exceptions typically include your employer, an agent of your employer, or an officer or agent of your union, as these individuals might have undue influence over your voting choices.

A voter who needs assistance in placing their ballot in a mailbox or drop box because of disability must be able to receive assistance from a person of their choosing. This protection extends beyond the polling place to ensure that voters who need help can receive it throughout the entire voting process.
