AI-generated summary, report an errorThis resolution would have the House of Representatives designate September 2026 as "National Voting Rights Month." It encourages Congress to pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and other voting rights bills, and to oppose the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act. It recommends that public schools and universities teach students about voting, the history of voter suppression, and current voting restrictions. It also invites Congress to fund public service announcements about elections and registration deadlines. As a resolution, it states the House's position and does not create new law.
