Sec. 51.8  Section 3 coverage.

    Under section 3(c) of the Act, a court in voting rights litigation 
can order as relief that a jurisdiction not subject to the preclearance 
requirement of section 5 preclear its voting changes by submitting them 
either to the court or to the Attorney General. Where a jurisdiction is 
required under section 3(c) to preclear its voting changes, and it 
elects to submit the proposed changes to the Attorney General for 
preclearance, the procedures in this part will apply.
