The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is a sweeping federal law that seeks to prevent voting discrimination based on race, color, or membership in a language minority group. The act was passed in the aftermath of one of the more violent episodes in the history of the civil rights movement.
Under strong pressure from Johnson and the civil rights movement, the Senate passed the Voting Rights Act by a 77-19 vote on May 26, 1965. The House passed it 333-85 on July 9. Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law on Aug. 6 with King and other civil rights leaders in attendance. The law prohibited the use of literacy tests, provided federal oversight of voter registration in areas where large numbers of nonwhites had not registered to vote and authorized the U.S. attorney general to investigate the use of discriminatory poll taxes in state and local elections.
