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

This proposal would add a change to the Constitution saying that every U.S. citizen who is old enough to vote has a basic right to vote in any public election where they live. It says the government — whether federal, state, or local — cannot take away or limit that right unless there is a very strong reason and no other less restrictive way to do it. It would also remove a part of the Fourteenth Amendment that currently allows states to take away someone's right to vote because of a crime, which some states use to stop people from voting after they have been in prison for a felony.
