The League of Women Voters of the United States along with the Brennan Center for Justice, NAACP, ACLU, and Legal Defense Fund issued a letter to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission imporing them to not take any action in response to the President's Executive Order of March 25,2025 (the "Order"), titled "Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections." The order itself is unlawful as it relates to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (the "Commission") and it would, in any event, also be unlawful for the Commission to take several of the actions directed by the Order.

The JLVRAA ensures that every voter—regardless of where they live, what they look like, or what language they speak—has equal access to the ballot box and is protected from unfair laws and practices that make it harder for people to vote.

The JLVRAA restores and modernizes the original protections of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA) to combat many of the new and recent discriminatory voting requirements that states have enacted that disproportionately prevent people of color, women, the elderly, and youth from voting.  

It allows federal courts to immediately halt questionable voting practices until a final ruling is made. This is crucial because when voting rights are at stake, prohibiting a discriminatory practice after the election has concluded is too late to truly protect voters' rights.

There is also a provision to safeguard election workers, defending them from threats and intimidation.
