SEC. 2. UNDUE BURDENS ON THE ABILITY TO VOTE IN 
ELECTIONS FOR FEDERAL OFFICE PROHIB-

(a) IN GENERAL.—Every citizen of legal voting age 
shall have the fundamental right to vote in elections for 
Federal office. 
(b) RETROGRESSION.—A government may not dimin-
ish the ability to vote in an election for Federal office un-
less the law, rule, standard, practice, procedure, or other 
governmental action causing the diminishment is the least 
restrictive means of significantly furthering an important, 
particularized government interest. 
(c) SUBSTANTIAL IMPAIRMENT.—A government may 
not substantially impair the ability to vote in an election 
for Federal office unless the law, rule, standard, practice, 
procedure, or other governmental action causing the im-
pairment significantly furthers an important, particular-
ized governmental interest. A substantial impairment is a 
non-trivial impairment that makes it more difficult to vote 
than if the law, rule, standard, practice, procedure, or 
other governmental action had not been adopted or imple-
mented. An impairment may be substantial even if the 
voter or other similarly situated voters are able to vote 
notwithstanding the impairment.
