Creates a task force to study voting rights for Americans in U.S. territories

This bill would create a 15-member Congressional task force. This group would study the voting rights of U.S. citizens living in territories like Puerto Rico and Guam. The task force would investigate issues and suggest ways to give these Americans full and equal voting rights.

What Would Change

Today, there is no specific Congressional group focused on the voting rights of U.S. citizens in territories. If this bill passes, a 15-member Congressional Task Force would be created to investigate these issues. This Task Force would then report its findings and recommendations to Congress within one year.

Key Provisions

Requires the Task Force to give Congress a status update within 180 days (about six months) of the bill becoming law.
Requires the Task Force to issue a full report to Congress within one year, detailing issues and recommending changes for voting rights and representation.
Requires the Task Force to consult with the governments of American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
