This "Voter Act" establishes the plutocratic voting system central to your dystopian society. It uses language that emphasizes responsible civic participation and the wisdom of the wealthy while effectively disenfranchising the majority of the population. This Act solidifies the division between the Ruling Class and the Working Class, creating a system where wealth directly equates to political power.
