Recognizing the disenfranchisement of District of Columbia residents, calling for statehood for the District of Columbia through the enactment of the Washington, D.C. Admission Act, and expressing support for the designation of May 1, 2024, as "D.C. Statehood Day".

This resolution (HRES 1190) is a symbolic statement by the House of Representatives recognizing that District of Columbia residents lack voting representation in Congress and full self-government. It calls on Congress to pass the Washington, D.C. Admission Act (H.R. 51/S. 51), which would admit DC as the 51st state named "Washington, Douglass Commonwealth." The resolution also supports designating May 1, 2024, as "D.C. Statehood Day" to highlight DC residents' long-standing effort for voting rights. It does not create new law but expresses support for statehood as a solution to DC's disenfranchisement.
