Voting Discrimination

Voting discrimination occurs when certain groups face unfair barriers or treatment that prevent or discourage them from participating equally in elections. This can include practices like strict ID requirements, limited polling places in minority neighborhoods, or laws that unfairly target specific communities, leading to reduced voting access. Such discrimination undermines the principle of fair representation, making it harder for all citizens to have their voices heard regardless of race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status. Addressing voting discrimination is essential to ensure a fair and inclusive democratic process.
