Summary

The joint resolution would add a new amendment that gives every citizen of voting age the unconditional right to vote, limits any restrictions to narrowly‑tailored election‑integrity measures, and requires states to follow federal election standards and allow same‑day registration. It would also give Congress the power to enforce the amendment through legislation. The measure affects all U.S. voters, state election officials, and Congress.
