The VOTE Act would make a state ineligible for federal funds used to administer federal elections for any fiscal year in which the state provides ballots containing text in a language other than English. It would also amend Section 4(f) of the Voting Rights Act by removing paragraphs (1), (3), and (4), and changing the wording at the start of paragraph (2).
The bill addresses the languages used on ballots for federal elections and the federal funds states may receive to administer those elections. It does not specify changes to particular voters’ access to ballots.
The bill does not state funding amounts or estimate financial effects. It would make states meeting its condition ineligible for certain federal election-administration funds.
