There is no difference between a law and an act. Act is just the word used in most titles of laws. Things are called Voting Rights Act, not Voting Rights Law, but it is still a law. Just because it has some provisions that expire doesn't mean it's not any more of a law than anything else.
If you'd like to debate the merits of extending the Voting Rights Act, that's an entirely different discussion.
