With the exception of the major pieces of the legislation that the Secretary of State asked a Federal court to review, the Department of State has announced that they have received Voting Rights Act preclearance by the U.S. Dept. of Justice of the remaining pieces of HB1355, making them effective within the entire state.  The pieces of the law that remain in limbo relate to: Section 4 – Relating to 3rd Party Voter Registration Organizations, Section 23 – Relating to Petition Signature Verification, Section 26 – Relating to Out-of-County Address Changes at the Polling Place, and Section 39 – Relating to Early Voting Hours.
