Voters should care because this resolution pushes for a stronger international stance against a powerful military and political force in Iran that the U.S. government views as a significant threat. If the EU officially labels the IRGC as a terrorist organization, it would align European policy more closely with that of the U.S. and Canada, creating a united front.
This could have real-world impacts by increasing economic pressure on the IRGC, disrupting its ability to finance and support proxy groups, and potentially curtailing its operations in Europe. If it doesn't become law (or rather, if the EU doesn't act on the urging), the IRGC would continue to face sanctions on individual members within the EU, but not as a whole entity, potentially allowing it more operational flexibility and financial avenues in Europe.
