Bill overview
This bill, the Expanding the VOTE Act, aims to improve access to voting materials for people who don't speak English fluently. It strengthens the Voting Rights Act by requiring states to provide translated voting materials and offering incentives for them to do so. The bill also directs the Justice Department to notify states about their obligations and asks a government study to examine potential changes to the law’s requirements and broaden the definition of language minorities.
