There is a NEED to protect voting rights. Some states are passing laws to restrict people from voting and making sure there are not voting precincts in the poorest areas of cities. Some of the laws reflect the old Jim Crow laws and going back over 60 years in voting rights. Since this is the case and by court rulings under the civil rights voting act the federal government is designated to protect voting rights.
In some countries, there are no penalties for not voting, as voting is seen as a voluntary civic duty. However, in countries with compulsory voting laws, such as Australia and Belgium, individuals who do not vote may face fines or other penalties. The lack of penalties for not voting can result in lower voter turnout and may impact the representativeness of election results.
