H.J.Res. 138 · 115th Congress
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States extending the right to vote to citizens…
Full title
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States extending the right to vote to citizens sixteen years of age or older.
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
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.
