The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act is a proposed piece of legislation aimed at protecting and expanding voting rights in the United States. Named after civil rights leader John Lewis, the act seeks to restore provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that were weakened by a 2013 Supreme Court decision. It requires certain states and localities with a history of voting discrimination to obtain federal approval before making changes to their voting laws. The act also aims to enhance voter access by implementing measures such as automatic and same-day voter registration, as well as expanding early voting. By addressing issues like voter ID laws and gerrymandering, the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act seeks to ensure that all Americans can exercise their right to vote without facing unnecessary barriers.
