HRES 20 United States House · 119th Congress

Establishing the Select Committee on Electoral Reform.

HRES 20 establishes a temporary House Select Committee on Electoral Reform to study changes to U.S. election systems. The committee will examine current congressional election methods and alternatives like ranked-choice voting, multi-member districts, and independent redistricting commissions, while assessing federal barriers such as the 1967 Uniform Congressional District Act. It must hold hearings with experts and state officials, then submit a report with recommendations within one year. The committee has no authority to pass legislation but will analyze how reforms might improve congressional responsiveness and functionality. This resolution directly affects House operations and provides a structured process for evaluating electoral system changes.
