1:12Now PlayingPresident Biden signs executive order on voter access, marks 'Bloody Sunday' anniversary.
President Joe Biden signed an executive order Sunday directing the federal government to promote voting access in a move meant to commemorate the 56th anniversary of the Selma-to-Montgomery marches for civil rights.
"Every eligible voter should be able to vote and have that vote counted," the president said in a virtual address to the Martin and Coretta King Unity Breakfast on Sunday just before signing the order. "If you have the best ideas, you have nothing to hide. Let the people vote."
The order directs federal agencies to expand access to voter registration and election information, according to an administration official. That includes directing heads of all federal agencies to submit a "strategic plan" to the White House within 200 days on how their departments can promote voter registration and participation.
