For the People Act

Mar. 3, 2021 | H.R. 1

For years, some of the rich and powerful have tried to make it harder to register and vote. This legislation gives voters tools to defeat those seeking to gain power through intimidation, coercion and voter suppression. It would create standards to protect the vote by promoting early voting and same-day and online registration. It establishes a public financing system powered by small donations and requires super PACs to make their donors public. Finally, it would restore voting rights for formerly incarcerated individuals and commit Congress to restoring the Voting Rights Act to end racial discrimination in voting. This bill passed the House on March 3, 2021.
