The correct answer is it banned discriminatory voting restrictions.
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 did several things to ensure that black voters had the opportunity to participate in elections including:
1) Outlawing of literacy tests.
2) Outlawed poll taxes.
Along with this, the Voting Rights Act ensured that the federal government would monitor voting practives, especially in the Southern states, to make sure that blacks were not prevented from voting for any reason.
