PART 51--PROCEDURES FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF SECTION 5 OF THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT OF 1965, AS AMENDED--Table of Contents
 
                  Subpart E--Processing of Submissions
 
Sec. 51.34  Expedited consideration.

    (a) When a submitting authority is required under State law or local 
ordinance or otherwise finds it necessary to implement a change within 
the 60-day period following submission, it may request that the 
submission be given expedited consideration. The submission should 
explain why such consideration is needed and provide the date by which a 
determination is required.

[[Page 91]]

    (b) Jurisdictions should endeavor to plan for changes in advance so 
that expedited consideration will not be required and should not 
routinely request such consideration. When a submitting authority 
demonstrates good cause for expedited consideration the Attorney General 
will attempt to make a decision by the date requested. However, the 
Attorney General cannot guarantee that such consideration can be given.
    (c) Notice of the request for expedited consideration will be given 
to interested parties registered under Sec. 51.32.
