A resolution designating September 2023 as "National Voting Rights Month".
This Senate resolution symbolically designates September 2023 as "National Voting Rights Month" to raise awareness about voting rights history and current challenges.

The resolution has no binding effect on policy or funding - it serves as a symbolic recognition and call to action for voting rights advocacy.
