Sec. 55.22  Requirements of section 5 of the Act.


    For many jurisdictions, changes in voting laws and practices will be 
necessary in order to comply with section 4(f)(4) or section 203(c). If 
a jurisdiction is subject to the preclearance requirements of section 5 
(see Sec. 55.8(b)), such changes must either be submitted to the 
Attorney General or be made the subject of a declaratory judgment action 
in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Procedures for 
the administration of section 5 are set forth in part 51 of this 
chapter.
