Establishing the Select Committee on Electoral Reform.

H.Res. 20 would establish a Select Committee on Electoral Reform in the House of Representatives to examine how Congress members are currently elected and explore alternative election methods. The committee would investigate how different electoral approaches might affect Congress's responsiveness, accountability, and functionality. It would consider options including multi-member districts with proportional representation, ranked-choice voting, open primaries, and adjusting the total number of House members.

The committee would consist of 14 members appointed by the Speaker and minority leader, with balanced representation from both parties. It would hold hearings with expert witnesses and examine federal barriers to states experimenting with alternative electoral systems. The committee would be required to issue a final report to Congress and the President within one year of its first meeting.

It is important to note that this is a non-binding resolution, meaning it does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature. If passed, it would only authorize the creation of this study committee; any actual changes to electoral systems would require separate legislation. The bill is currently in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House.
