H.Res. 1114 · 116th Congress

Expressing support for the designation of the month of September as "National Voting Rights Month".

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.
