HRES 1539 United States House · 119th Congress

Affirming the commitment of the House of Representatives to defend the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution and to oppose efforts to intimidate voters, suppress the vote, or interfere with free and fair elections.

This House resolution reaffirms the chamber's commitment to defending the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments by opposing actions perceived as voter intimidation or suppression. It specifically condemns the deployment of armed federal agents or immigration enforcement personnel near polling places and calls on the Department of Homeland Security to confirm that such operations will not occur during the 2026 elections. The bill also opposes the creation of a national database of confidential voter registration information and rejects legislation requiring documentary proof of citizenship for voter registration. Additionally, it supports restoring federal preclearance protections for voting laws and calls on the Speaker of the House to promptly administer oaths of office to duly elected representatives.
