The answer is A: any change to voting procedures in a state covered by the Voting Rights Act must be approved by a federal court.

Explanation for each option:

(A) Correct. Prior to 2013, Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act required that certain states and local governments with a history of discrimination in voting obtain federal preclearance before implementing any changes to their voting laws or practices. This preclearance could be obtained from either the U.S. Department of Justice or a federal court in Washington, D.C. This provision was designed to prevent discriminatory practices before they could affect elections.

(B) Incorrect. The requirement to provide a printed sample ballot to all registered voters at least 30 days before the elections is not a provision of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. This option does not relate to the preclearance requirement.

(C) Incorrect. The requirement for states to inform the federal government about the types of voting machines they are using to ensure security is not part of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. This option is unrelated to the preclearance requirement.

(D) Incorrect. The requirement for each state to give the federal government its election calendar to build a national election calendar is not part of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. This option does not pertain to the preclearance requirement.

In summary, the correct answer is A, as it accurately describes the preclearance requirement of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act prior to 2013.
