The Voting Rights Act of Virginia is a Virginia law that prohibits racial discrimination in voting and establishes a preclearance provision for proposed changes to election administration, among other provisions. It is modeled after the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, as well as the John Lewis Voting Rights Act (which would restore portions of the federal Voting Rights Act that were revoked in the 2013 Supreme Court case Shelby County v. Holder), and is the first voting rights act enacted in the American South.

  • The Voting Rights Act of Virginia is a Virginia law that prohibits racial discrimination in voting and establishes a preclearance provision for proposed changes to election administration, among other provisions. It is modeled after the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, as well as the John Lewis Voting Rights Act (which would restore portions of the federal Voting Rights Act that were revoked in the 2013 Supreme Court case Shelby County v. Holder), and is the first voting rights act enacted in the American South. The bill, supported by Democrats and opposed by Republicans, comes at the same time Republican lawmakers are pursuing a nationwide effort to make voting laws more restrictive following a failed attempt to overturn the victory of Democratic candidate Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.
