- The Justice Department is providing information about what it’s doing to make sure upcoming elections are fair and safe for everyone.
- It has different divisions that help make sure:
- All eligible people can vote without dealing with discrimination and intimidation, and
- Our elections are protected and free from problems created by outside groups and governments.
- It enforces laws like the Voting Rights Act which makes sure there are fair election practices. These voting-related laws do many things, including:
- Allow voters who need help in voting because of a disability or who aren’t able to read or write to get help from almost any person of their choice, and
- Require accessible voting systems for voters with disabilities.
- The Department also deals with election crimes, including destroying ballots and voter intimidation.
- If you have problems with or worries about voting, you can call the Justice Department or contact them through their website.
