submitted to the Attorney General pursuant to Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act,42 U.S.C.

received through January 10, 2006.
The Attorney General does not interpose any objection to the specified changes. However,
we note that Section 5 expressly provides that the failure of the Attorney General to object does
not bar subsequent litigation to enjoin the enforcement of the changes. In addition, as authorized
by Section 5,we reserve the right to reexamine this submission if additional information that
would otherwise require an objection comes to our attention during the remainder of the
sixty-day review period. Procedures for the Administration of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act

Section 5 review is required for any polling place changes adopted as a result of the newly
created voting precincts.
