New California Bill
Strengthens Voting Rights

August 2002

On July 9, 2002, Governor Gray Davis approved the California Voting Rights Act of 2001.  This bill expands on voting rights granted under the federal Voting Rights Act by, among other things, granting standing to groups who are too geographically dispersed to elect their candidate of choice from a single member district.
