Answer: The Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Briefly: the VRA banned literacy tests and other discriminatory voting practices and authorized federal supervision (federal examiners/observers and a preclearance requirement for covered jurisdictions) to ensure eligible citizens could register and vote. (Note: Shelby County v. Holder, 2013, struck down the VRA’s coverage formula that triggered preclearance.)
