The resolution urges the United States Congress to enact the Alice Paul Voter Protection Act (H.R. 1583), which aims to safeguard the voter registration rights of citizens. Sponsored by Representative Andy Kim and co-sponsored by Representative Donald Norcross, the bill seeks to prohibit any individual from corruptly hindering or interfering with another person's ability to register to vote or assist others in doing so. Violators of this provision would face fines and potential imprisonment. Additionally, the bill mandates the federal Election Assistance Commission to create and publish best practice recommendations for states to prevent violations.

This legislation honors the legacy of Alice Paul, a prominent New Jersey native and leader in the suffragist movement who played a crucial role in the passage of the 19th Amendment, granting women the right to vote. Paul’s lifelong commitment to voting rights, despite facing significant challenges, underscores the importance of protecting these rights as a fundamental aspect of democracy. The resolution emphasizes that enacting the Alice Paul Voter Protection Act is both a necessary step to ensure voter registration rights and a tribute to the enduring impact of Alice Paul’s advocacy for equality.
