Equal Rights
Voting Rights
Summary of Policy and Recommendations
- We support the Voting Rights Act and federal efforts to break down barriers to full ballot access for all people, including language-minority citizens, to ensure that all Americans are able to exercise their right to vote.
Background
The Anti-Defamation League has long demonstrated a strong commitment to voting rights for all Americans. In 2006, we supported the reauthorization of the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965, one of our nation’s most important and effective civil rights laws. The Act has eliminated discriminatory barriers to full civic participation for millions of Americans and sparked significant advances for equal political participation at all levels of government. We support the Voting Rights Act by working to break down barriers to full ballot access for all people, including language-minority citizens, to ensure that all Americans are able to exercise their right to vote.
