The Joint Resolution proposes an amendment to the Rhode Island Constitution regarding suffrage, specifically aimed at updating Article II, Sections 1 and 2. The amendment seeks to eliminate the existing thirty-day residency requirement for voters, allowing individuals to register to vote on or by election day. It also stipulates that no person shall be eligible to file a declaration of candidacy who has not been a qualified elector in Rhode Island for at least thirty days.

The resolution mandates that this proposed amendment be submitted to the state's qualified electors for approval during the next statewide general election. It outlines the procedures for conducting the election, including the publication of the amendment in local newspapers and the proper warning and conduct of town, ward, and district meetings.
