Summary
WASHINGTON, July 26 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The Department of Justice announced today that it is holding its fifth annual Ballot Access and Voting Integrity Symposium in Washington, D.C. on July 25 and 26, 2006. These annual training conferences are an important component of the Department's ongoing Ballot Access and Voting Integrity Initiative, which was established in Oct. 2002 to spearhead the Department's expanded efforts to address election crimes and voting rights violations.
The Initiative is supervised by the Assistant Attorneys General of the Civil Rights and Criminal Divisions, and has two overarching goals: To ensure voting access to all who qualify and to protect the integrity of the election process and the worth of each person's vote. The Initiative seeks to achieve these goals by increasing the Department's efforts and effectiveness in combating election crimes, publicizing election crime convictions to deter similar crimes in the future, ensuring nationwide compliance with the federal laws protecting voting rights, and assuring the public that the Department intends to combat both election crimes and voting rights abuses vigorously, fairly and effectively.See the full content of this document
