Freedom to Vote Act, and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.
The Freedom to Vote Act will set basic national standards for voting, stop partisan gerrymandering on both sides of the aisle, and strengthen the American people’s faith in our democracy. The bill will:

- Set a national standard for no-excuse vote by mail for every eligible voter;

- Expand early voting by requiring states to offer early voting at least two weeks prior to Election Day;
- Enhance protections individuals with disabilities;
- Make Election Day as a national holiday;
- Provides standards for voter identification, which require uniform national standard for states that require identification for in-person voting and allows voters to present a broad set of identification cards and documents in hard copy and digital form.
- Prevent partisan election subversion by restricting the politicized removal of election officials and enhance the protections for election records, including ballots and voting systems;
- Prohibit the dissemination of false and misleading information designed to dissuade eligible voters from casting a ballot;
- Improve election security by requiring post-election audits and voter verifiable paper records of a votes;
- Protect elections from foreign interference;
- End partisan gerrymandering;
- Promote digital ad transparency;
- Force disclosure of dark money; and
- Establish a self-sustaining democracy trust fund to support state-directed democracy promotion activities.
In addition, this bill contains the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, which corrects the Supreme Court’s disastrous decision in Shelby County v. Holder.
