Freedom to Vote Act
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Rules and Administration.
<p><strong>Freedom to Vote Act</strong></p> <p>This bill addresses voter registration and voting access, election integrity and security, redistricting, and campaign finance.</p> <p>Specifically, the bill expands voter registration (e.g., automatic and same-day registration) and voting access (e.g., vote-by-mail and early voting). It also limits removing voters from voter rolls.</p> <p>Next, the bill establishes Election Day as a federal holiday.</p> <p>The bill declares that the right of a U.S. citizen to vote in any election for federal office shall not be denied or abridged because that individual has been convicted of a criminal offense unless, at the time of the election, such individual is serving a felony sentence.</p> <p>The bill establishes certain federal criminal offenses related to voting.
The main political fault lines are not fully surfaced yet, so coalition durability is still unclear.
The next hurdle is converting committee movement into a floor coalition.
