MOTION TO RECOMMIT →What the House was voting on
The House voted on whether to send S. 1383 back to committee instead of proceeding to a vote on passage. The bill would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register for federal elections and photo ID to vote. The motion failed by 2 votes, falling short of the 216 needed. Since 2021, this motion cannot include instructions and is largely procedural, not a vote on the bill’s policies.
Send S. 1383 back to committee instead of voting on passage now.
Keep S. 1383 on the floor for its passage vote.
Requires citizenship documents to register for federal elections and photo identification to vote, while setting alternative procedures and exceptions.
