Sweeping Freedom to Vote Act Aims to Protect Democracy, Promote Voting Rights
Historic Legislation Addresses Voter Access, Election Integrity
A Comprehensive Approach to Electoral Reform
In a landmark move to safeguard our democracy and promote voting rights, the Freedom to Vote Act (FTVA) stands poised to transform the electoral landscape. This comprehensive legislation, the successor to the far-reaching HR 1, tackles a broad range of issues critical to the health of our electoral system.
At its core, the FTVA recognizes that access to voting is a fundamental right. The bill makes it a federal crime to prevent anyone from registering to vote, regardless of their circumstances. It also expands early voting options, eases voter registration requirements, and implements automatic voter registration for certain individuals.
Beyond voter access, the FTVA addresses concerns about election integrity and security. It establishes national standards for voter identification, secures election systems against cyber threats, and provides funding for election administration. Additionally, the bill overhauls campaign finance laws to reduce the influence of money in politics and promote transparency.
