SRES 390 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A resolution designating September 2025 as "National Voting Rights Month".

This Senate resolution (SRES 390) designates September 2025 as "National Voting Rights Month" to honor voting rights history and encourage civic engagement. It does not create new laws but urges Congress to advance voting rights legislation (like the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act), recommends schools teach about voting history and suppression, and encourages media campaigns to promote voter registration and election awareness. The resolution directly affects all U.S. citizens by highlighting voting access issues and promoting educational efforts, though it has no legal force. It follows historical context about voter suppression and recent voting rights challenges, including the 2013 Shelby County v. Holder Supreme Court decision.
