Full title

Expressing the sense of Congress that a day should be designated as "National Voting Rights Act Mobilization Day".

Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.

Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.

Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 115th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Expresses the sense of Congress that a National Voting Rights Act Mobilization Day should be designated to: (1) remind all Americans of the critical role that the Voting Rights Act of 1965 continues to play in protecting the right to vote, and (2) be an occasion for them to voice their support for this landmark civil rights law.
