We need your voice by Wednesday, February  9, when the House Election Laws Subcommittee takes up a very important early and absentee voting bill. The bill does something that we have long needed, creating a no-excuse early voting period. However, it also does things that are threats to voter access and reasonable election administration. We hope everyone will provide personal testimony at the hearing or in writing. The League's testimony: 

2/9/2022 House Testimony: H.4919 Absentee & Early Voting

The time has come for voting rights legislation to move forward in Congress. New legislation, passed by the US House, will allow the US Senate to debate voting rights for the first time. The new legislation, HR 5746, the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act will ensure that voters can safely and freely cast their ballots, stop partisan gerrymandering, limit the influence of dark money in politics, and hold elected officials and our institutions accountable.
