Answer 1

• It required 5 states with a history of racially based voter suppression to receive preclearance from the Department of Justice before they can make changes to their voting procedures
• A core special provision is the Section 5 preclearance requirement, which prohibits certain jurisdictions from implementing any change affecting voting without receiving preapproval from the U.S. Attorney General or the U.S. District Court for D.C. that the change does not discriminate against protected minorities.
