About this vote

The motion was offered while the Senate debated S.Con.Res. 33, the budget resolution for fiscal year 2026. It would provide reconciliation instructions for the Committee on Rules and Administration and establish deficit-neutral reserve funds relating to identification requirements to register to vote, photo identification requirements to vote, and election day and the counting of ballots in federal elections. A deficit-neutral reserve fund allows budget levels to be adjusted later for legislation on a topic, as long as that legislation does not increase the deficit. The motion was rejected.
