SJRES 186 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States relative to the fundamental right to vote.

This bill proposes a new amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would establish voting as a fundamental right for all citizens of legal voting age. It requires any government denial of this right to be narrowly tailored to serve a compelling interest, while also repealing specific language from the 14th Amendment related to voting rights. The amendment would grant Congress the authority to pass laws enforcing these protections against any denial or abridgment of the right to vote.
