Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 155) to require States to permit unaffiliated voters to vote in primary elections for Federal office, and for other purposes.

This measure is about letting people who aren’t registered with a political party vote in primary elections for federal offices (like President, U.S. Senate, and U.S. House) . It focuses on opening primaries to unaffiliated voters, which could give more people a say in who appears on the general election ballot .

• Key points

  Who is affected	What changes	When
  Unaffiliated voters; state election officials; party primary voters	States would be required to allow unaffiliated voters to participate in primaries for federal offices	The document does not specify timing

For communities, this could mean larger primary turnouts and candidates who speak to a wider group of voters, not just party members .
