AI Summary

This joint resolution proposes a new amendment to the United States Constitution, aiming to establish a fundamental right to vote for every citizen of legal voting age in their resident jurisdiction.

The proposed amendment would also require each state to administer public elections in accordance with performance standards established by Congress. Furthermore, states would be mandated to provide all eligible voters with the opportunity for same-day voter registration and voting on the day of any public election. Congress would be explicitly granted the power to enforce and implement this article through appropriate legislation.
