Urges US Congress adopt comprehensive voting rights legislation.
Assembly Resolution 62, introduced by New Jersey Assemblywomen Ellen J. Park and Shama A. Haider, urges the U.S. Congress to adopt the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. The resolution cites recent state-level voting restrictions - such as photo ID requirements and reduced mail-in ballot access - as evidence of the need for federal action to strengthen voting rights protections. It will be formally transmitted to all New Jersey members of Congress and congressional leadership, emphasizing the importance of voting rights following the January 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection and record voter turnout in New Jersey's 2020 election.
