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

Summary

The joint resolution would add a new amendment stating that every U.S. citizen of voting age has a fundamental right to vote in any public election where they live. It bars any denial of that right unless the government can show a compelling interest and that the restriction is the least restrictive way to achieve it, and it removes the current constitutional language that permits disenfranchising people for crimes. Congress would be given authority to enforce the amendment through legislation.
