The correct answre is: "the act was enacted to outlaw discriminatory voting practices against black citizens that functioned in many Southern States".

In the United States, after the enactment of the Reconstruction Amendments (after the Civil War), which guaranteed equality of rights for all US citizens, many Southern states tried to circumvent such provisions with the enactment of the so-called Jim Crow laws. These contained many regulations that prevented many black citizens from access to vote in practice, by setting requirements such as literacy test or a minimum income level.

All these practices were ended with the enactment of the Voting Rights Act in 1965 that <u>prohibits racial discrimination in voting and which derogated the whole Jim Crow legal system. </u>

Answer:

the act was enacted to outlaw discriminatory voting practices against black citizens that functioned in many Southern States

Explanation:

There were numerous kinds of problems faced by African Americans to enter the political system. The poll tax, literacy test and other bureaucratic restrictions combined with violence against African Americans brought the issue to the national stage. To overcome these problems these taxes were abolished and federal agents were appointed to strengthen the participation of African Americans in the political process.

Notice the following signs in the image.
"vox populi" which means "voice of the people"
Polling Booth Who is not with us is against us.
Tank as the voting booth.

The image depicts gross intimidation of Hitler to the voting people. It is ironic that even though the image said voice of the people, it is very obvious that the voice of the people are controlled by Hitler and his army. 
Any one who is not for Hitler will be treated as his enemy and will be subject to extreme measure of punishment as befits his enemies.
Hitler's victory in the election is assured because everyone will surely vote for  him or lose their lives.
