Introduced

Summary

This resolution would reaffirm the House's commitment to the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments and to protecting voting rights by opposing voter intimidation and suppression.

Show full summary
  • Voters, especially racial and language minorities, would see a formal condemnation of troops, armed Federal agents, or immigration-enforcement personnel at or near polling places and a call for DHS to promise no ICE operations at polling sites during the 2026 elections or any future election.
  • State election officials and civil rights challengers would get backing for restoring federal preclearance and stronger Section 2 protections to make it easier to contest voting rules or maps that discriminate. The resolution also opposes documentary proof of citizenship requirements and the creation of a national federal database of voter registration information.
  • Voters with disabilities and Members of Congress are addressed separately. The resolution calls for accessible public notice of polling locations and voting machines and asks the Speaker to commit in writing to promptly administer the oath to any Member-elect.
