John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2021

Aug. 24, 2021 | H.R. 4

This bipartisan legislation helps protect our nation’s citizens from discriminatory voting practices and restores the ability to mount effective legal challenges to anti-democratic voting measures. 

Passage would be an important step toward restoration of the fundamental voter protections undermined by the Supreme Court’s 2013 Shelby County v. Holder decision and its 2021 decision in Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee. This bill passed the House on Aug. 24, 2021.
