Designates and supports a National Voting Rights Month, highlights threats to voting access, and urges steps to protect and expand the right to vote. It lists findings about historical and recent barriers to voting, expresses concern about actions like gerrymandering and voter purges that disproportionately affect minority and underrepresented groups, and calls on Congress to pass voting-rights legislation and to fund public service announcements.
The resolution also encourages schools to teach about voting and voter suppression, thanks the U.S. Postal Service for a commemorative stamp honoring John R. Lewis, and asks Congress to help publicize registration and election dates. It is a nonbinding statement of support and does not itself change laws or appropriate funds.
Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committees on House Administration, Science, Space, and Technology, Oversight and Government Reform, Financial Services, Ways and Means, Natural Resources, and Homeland Security, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
