                    TITLE 28--JUDICIAL ADMINISTRATION

 

              CHAPTER I--DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE (CONTINUED)

 

PART 55_IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROVISIONS OF THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT 

REGARDING LANGUAGE MINORITY GROUPS--Table of Contents

 

                      Subpart B_Nature of Coverage

 

Sec. 55.8  Relationship between section 4(f)(4) and section 203(c).



    (a) The statutory requirements of section 4(f)(4) and section 203(c) 

regarding minority language material and assistance are essentially 

identical.

    (b) Jurisdictions subject to the requirements of section 4(f)(4)--

but not jurisdictions subject only to the requirements of section 

203(c)--are also subject to the Act's special provisions, such as 

section 5 (regarding preclearance of changes in voting laws) and section 

6 (regarding Federal examiners). \3\ See part 51 of this chapter.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------



    \3\ In addition, a jurisdiction covered under section 203(c) but not 

under section 4(f)(4) is subject to the Act's special provisions if it 

was covered under section 4(b) prior to the 1975 Amendments to the Act.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------



    (c) Although the coverage formulas applicable to section 4(f)(4) and 

section 203(c) are different, a political subdivision may be included 

within both of the coverage formulas. Under these circumstances, a 

judgment terminating coverage of the jurisdiction under one provision 

would not have the effect of terminating coverage under the other 

provision.
