The government should change the law and let women can vote

Can you please tellme if #2 is grammatical? Of course #1 is correct but I wonder an auxiliary verb can be used as an object complement as in #1.
1. She insisted that the government should change the law and let women can vote.
2. She insisted that the government should change the law and let women vote.
As always, many thanks teachers!
