Voter rights refer to the legal protections that ensure individuals can participate in elections without discrimination or unfair barriers. These rights are designed to promote fair access to the voting process, allowing citizens to express their opinions and influence government decisions. Key laws, such as the Voting Rights Act of 1965, aim to eliminate practices that disenfranchise specific groups, particularly racial minorities. In many countries, voter rights include the right to register to vote, the right to cast a ballot, and the right to receive assistance if needed. Ensuring these rights helps maintain the integrity of the electoral process and supports the democratic principle that every voice matters.
