WEB Announces Passage of Freedom to Vote Act
Landmark Legislation Expands Voter Access, Protects Elections, and Reduces the Influence of Big Money
WEB Congress has enacted the Freedom to Vote Act, a comprehensive bill to expand Americans' access to the ballot box, protect elections from interference, and reduce the influence of big money in politics.
The Freedom to Vote Act addresses a wide range of issues related to voter registration, voting access, election integrity, redistricting, and campaign finance. It includes provisions to:
- Make voter registration automatic for Americans who interact with certain government agencies, such as the Department of Motor Vehicles.
- Allow same-day voter registration in all states.
- Expand early voting and no-excuse absentee voting.
- Protect against voter intimidation and harassment.
- Strengthen election security measures.
- Establish independent redistricting commissions to draw fair congressional and state legislative districts.
- Limit the influence of big money in politics by reducing the amount of money that individuals and corporations can contribute to candidates and political parties.
The Freedom to Vote Act is a landmark piece of legislation that will make it easier for Americans to vote, protect our elections from interference, and reduce the influence of big money in politics. It is a victory for democracy and for all Americans who believe that everyone should have a say in their government.
