Delaware Voting Rights Act Campaign

For the past 60 years, the federal Voting Rights Act (VRA) has been a critical tool in the fight against discriminatory voting laws and voter suppression practices — ensuring that voters of all backgrounds have equal opportunity to participate in our country’s democratic process.

Over the years, Supreme Court decisions have substantially weakened the VRA. And now, a coordinated attack on voting rights — from burdensome registration requirements to inadequate polling sites in minority communities, to dilutive voting maps — threatens to destroy this crucial pillar of American democracy. Growing anti-voter measures disproportionately target voters of color, voters with disabilities and elderly voters, voters whose first language is not English, low-income voters, among others.

These attacks are only accelerating. That’s why Delaware must pass HB 444, the Delaware John Lewis Voting Rights Act, to protect and expand the right to vote in Delaware. Join our efforts to push back against the assault on democracy until every vote matters and every voice is heard.

The Delaware VRA campaign aims to:

1. Advocate for the passage of HB 444, the Delaware John Lewis Voting Rights Act;
2. Lead public education efforts on the importance of a state-level Voting Rights Act in Delaware; and
3. Ensure HB 444 protections for Delaware voters.
