Laws are now in effect which will make it possible for individual states and counties to become exempt from the Voting Rights Act, first passed in 1965. According to Carroll County Elections Supervisor Patty Brown-Traylor, the Act affects mostly southern regions, requiring them to receive approval from the U.S. Justice Department for all changes in the election process, including registration, districting, and scheduling. Gaining approval from the Justice Department takes about 60 days for any change. No mention by local officials of intentions to apply for the exempt status has been made as of yet. |
