Key Points

This resolution asks the House of Representatives to name September 2025 as National Voting Rights Month. The goal is to celebrate the right to vote and make sure every citizen knows how to participate in democracy.
The plan encourages schools to teach students how to register and where to vote. It also suggests teaching the history of how some groups were stopped from voting in the past and the laws that were created to protect those rights.
It urges Congress to pass other bills that would create national voting standards and help people who were in prison get their voting rights back. It also asks for money to run ads on TV and social media to remind people about election dates.
