[EL] Literacy tests

[Kogan, Vladimir]

Hi everyone, a student asked me this question and I was embarrassed to not know the answer: Does the Voting Rights Act's prohibition on literacy tests apply only to federal elections? In other words, could a state today implement a literacy tests requirement for state and local elections?

Thanks in advance!
