Section 105 of the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act ( 52 U.S.C. 20307 ) is amended to read as follows: The Attorney General may bring civil action in an appropriate district court for such declaratory or injunctive relief as may be necessary to carry out this title. A person who is aggrieved by a violation of this title may bring a civil action in an appropriate district court for such declaratory or injunctive relief as may be necessary to carry out this title.
In any action brought under this section, the only necessary party defendant is the State, and it shall not be a defense to any such action that a local election official or a unit of local government is not named as a defendant, notwithstanding that a State has exercised the authority described in section 576 of the Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act to delegate to another jurisdiction in the State any duty or responsibility which is the subject of an action brought under this section. .
The amendments made by this section shall apply with respect to violations alleged to have occurred on or after the date of the enactment of this Act.
