blue bulletI work for a covered jurisdiction and have the duty to make our Section 5 submissions. What do I need to do to comply with the law?
To learn what the Voting Rights Act requires of your jurisdiction, the best place to start is the Justice Department’s Section 5 guidelines, 28 C.F.R. 51.01 to 51.67. The guidelines explain what should be in a submission, who should make the submission and when it should be made, how long the Department’s review will take, what happens if the Attorney General objects to a change, and many other details you will want to know. You can find the guidelines in any copy of the Code of Federal Regulations, or you can request a copy of the guidelines from the Voting Section at the toll-free number.
