Overview
Sections 1 through 3 contain the statute's title, findings and purposes, and definitions, respectively. The key findings are that the right to vote is a fundamental right and all levels of government have a duty to promote the elective franchise. According to its stated purposes, the Act is intended to increase voter registration and ensure registration accuracy. Section 13, concerning the Act's effective date, has been included as a note to section 1973gg. Sections 4 through 12 contain the Act's substantive provisions. Because the Act derives from Congress's power to regulate federal elections, the Act only applies to federal elections.
