00 2025-03-11 Introduced in House 2025-07-28T15:52:18Z <p><strong>Voting Only Through English Act or the VOTE Act</strong></p><p>This bill requires states to use English-only ballots to qualify for certain federal election funds. It also repeals a prohibition on English-only federal elections and eliminates language assistance provisions under the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA). (The VRA requires&nbsp;some jurisdictions to provide materials such as ballots and registration information in English and in other covered languages for voters whose English proficiency is limited. The bill removes these requirements.)</p><p>Specifically, the bill&nbsp;prohibits a state from receiving federal election administration funds if the state provides ballots for a federal election that include text in any language other than English.</p>
