SUPREME COURT
EVISCERATES VOTING RIGHTS ACT

National League Talking Points

• On April 29, 2026, the US Supreme Court issued a 6-3 decision rendering Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) effectively inoperable against racial discrimination in redistricting.
• This decision will likely turn back decades of progress toward securing a multiracial democracy by putting district maps secured by Section 2 on the chopping block.

NEW JERSEY JOHN R. LEWIS VOTER EMPOWERMENT ACT

The John R. Lewis Voter Empowerment Act passed the legislature on June 30, 2026. The New Jersey State League of Women Voters strongly supported this bill. It will protect voters from race-based discrimination and set minimum standards to enable all voters to experience free and fair elections.
