This act was signed into law on August 6, 1965, by President Lyndon Johnson.

该法案于 1965 年 8 月 6 日由林登·约翰逊总统签署成为法律。

It outlawed the discriminatory voting practices adopted in many southern states after the Civil War, including literacy tests as a prerequisite to voting.

它禁止内战后许多南方州采取的歧视性投票做法，包括将识字测试作为投票的先决条件。

This “act to enforce the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution” was signed into law 95 years after the amendment was ratified.

这项“执行宪法第十五修正案的法案”在修正案获得批准95年后签署成为法律。

In those years, African Americans in the South faced tremendous obstacles to voting, including poll taxes, literacy tests, and other bureaucratic restrictions to deny them the right to vote.

在那些年里，南方的非裔美国人在投票方面面临着巨大的障碍，包括人头税、识字测试和其他剥夺他们投票权的官僚限制。

They also risked harassment, intimidation, economic reprisals, and physical violence when they tried to register or vote.

当他们试图登记或投票时，他们还面临着骚扰、恐吓、经济报复和身体暴力的风险。

As a result, African-American voter registration was limited, along with political power.

结果，非裔美国人的选民登记和政治权力都受到限制。

In 1964, numerous peaceful demonstrations were organized by Civil Rights leaders, and the considerable violence they were met with brought renewed attention to the issue of voting rights.

1964年，民权领袖组织了多次和平示威，他们所遭遇的大量暴力让人们重新关注投票权问题。

The murder of voting-rights activists in Mississippi and the attack by white state troopers on peaceful marchers in Selma, Alabama, gained national attention and persuaded President Johnson and Congress to initiate meaningful and effective national voting rights legislation.

密西西比州投票权活动人士被谋杀以及阿拉巴马州塞尔玛白人州警袭击和平游行者的事件引起了全国关注，并说服约翰逊总统和国会启动有意义且有效的国家投票权立法。

The combination of public revulsion to the violence and Johnson's political skills stimulated Congress to pass the voting rights bill on August 5, 1965.

公众对暴力的厌恶和约翰逊的政治技巧相结合，刺激国会于 1965 年 8 月 5 日通过了投票权法案。

The legislation, which President Johnson signed into law the next day, outlawed literacy tests and provided for the appointment of federal examiners (with the power to register qualified citizens to vote) in those jurisdictions that were "covered" according to a formula provided in the statute.

该法案于第二天由约翰逊总统签署成为法律，禁止识字测试，并规定在根据法规规定的公式“涵盖”的司法管辖区任命联邦审查员（有权登记合格公民投票）。

In addition, Section 5 of the act required covered jurisdictions to obtain "preclearance" from either the District Court for the District of Columbia or the U.S. Attorney General for any new voting practices and procedures.

此外，该法案第 5 条要求所涵盖的司法管辖区就任何新的投票做法和程序获得哥伦比亚特区地方法院或美国司法部长的“预先许可”。

Section 2, which closely followed the language of the 15th amendment, applied a nationwide prohibition of the denial or abridgment of the right to vote on account of race or color.

第 2 条紧随第 15 修正案的措辞，在全国范围内禁止因种族或肤色而剥夺或剥夺投票权。

The use of poll taxes in national elections had been abolished by the 24th amendment (1964) to the Constitution; the Voting Rights Act directed the Attorney General to challenge the use of poll taxes in state and local elections.

宪法第 24 条修正案（1964 年）废除了在全国选举中使用人头税； 《投票权法》指示总检察长对州和地方选举中人头税的使用提出质疑。

弗吉尼亚州选举委员会，383 U.S. 663 (1966)，最高法院根据第 14 修正案裁定弗吉尼亚州的人头税违宪。

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was the most significant statutory change in the relationship between the federal and state governments in the area of voting since the Reconstruction period following the Civil War; and it was immediately challenged in the courts.

1965 年的投票权法案是自内战后重建时期以来联邦和州政府在投票领域关系方面最重大的法律变革；它立即在法庭上受到质疑。

Between 1965 and 1969, the Supreme Court issued several key decisions upholding the constitutionality of Section 5 and affirming the broad range of voting practices for which preclearance was required.

1965 年至 1969 年间，最高法院发布了几项关键裁决，维护第 5 条的合宪性，并确认需要预先批准的广泛投票做法。

The Voting Rights Act had an immediate impact.

By the end of 1965, a quarter of a million new Black voters had been registered, one-third by federal examiners.

到 1965 年底，已有 25 万新黑人选民登记，其中三分之一由联邦审查员登记。

By the end of 1966, only four out of 13 southern states had fewer than 50 percent of African Americans registered to vote.

到 1966 年底，南方 13 个州中只有 4 个州的非裔美国人登记投票率低于 50%。

1965 年的投票权法于 1970 年、1975 年和 1982 年重新通过并得到加强。
