**Study alternative methods for electing Members of Congress, including proportional representation and ranked-choice voting.** The resolution would create a 14‑member House Select Committee on Electoral Reform, with 7 members appointed in consultation with the minority leader, to study how different election methods affect responsiveness, accountability, and Congress’s functionality and to issue a final report to Congress and the President within one year after its first meeting. - Voters: The committee would examine systems like multi‑member districts with proportional representation, ranked‑choice voting, fusion voting, and open nonpartisan primaries to assess how votes would translate into representation. - States: It would review federal barriers to state experimentation, including the Uniform Congressional District Act’s single‑member district requirement, which could inform state options for testing new election systems. - Members of Congress and House structure: The committee would consider adjusting the total number of House Members and the use of independent redistricting commissions and would gather expert and official testimony to shape recommendations.
