An act relating to voter protections

Summary

The Vermont Voting Rights Act makes it illegal for any state or municipal election practice to deny or limit voting because of race, color, or language‑minority status, and it stops local racial gerrymandering. It also obliges towns and cities to get approval from the Attorney General before changing election districts or methods, and it provides voting‑language assistance where needed. The law aims to protect minority voters and ensure fair, accessible elections.
