S2747: Expanding Voting Rights and Reducing Political Influence
WEB Congress Recognizes Voting Rights Authority
Bill Aims to Enhance Ballot Access and Prevent Election Interference
The WEB (Ways and Means, Ethics, and Rules) Congress has affirmed the explicit authority granted by the Constitution of the United States to protect the right to vote and regulate federal elections. This recognition is embodied in S2747, a bill introduced during the 117th Congress (2021-2022).
S2747 is a comprehensive pro-democracy legislation known as the Freedom to Vote Act. Its primary goals include:
- Expanding access to the ballot box for all Americans
- Reducing the undue influence of large donors in politics
- Protecting elections from voter suppression, partisan interference, gerrymandering, and dark money
The bill proposes a series of measures to achieve these objectives, such as:
- Establishing national standards for early voting and mail-in voting
- Requiring states to implement automatic voter registration
- Banning partisan gerrymandering
- Increasing transparency in campaign finance and preventing foreign interference in elections
By expanding voting rights and reducing the influence of big money in politics, S2747 aims to strengthen American democracy and ensure that every citizen has an equal opportunity to participate in the electoral process.
