Establishes a constitutional right to vote for all eligible citizens.
This bill proposes a change to the Constitution that would give every eligible citizen the right to vote in public elections where they live. It would also require states to let people register and vote on election day. This means states would need to follow new national standards for how they run elections.
Currently, the Constitution does not explicitly grant an affirmative right to vote for all citizens, and states largely decide election rules like voter registration deadlines. If this bill becomes law and is ratified, it would create an explicit constitutional right for every eligible citizen to vote. It would also require all states to offer same-day voter registration and voting, and to follow national election standards set by Congress.
