CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

Senate Roll Call 73

119th Congress · Session 2 · March 26, 2026

A vote to end debate and allow a final vote

In the Senate, debate can continue indefinitely unless 60 senators vote to end it. This vote is that attempt. It decides whether the Senate may vote on the thing at all — not whether the thing passes. A failed cloture vote usually ends the matter without anyone ever voting on its merits.

What was being voted on

119-SAMDT-4732 — To require voters to provide photo identification.

This amendment aims to change the bill by striking section 111 and inserting new requirements for voters to provide photo identification when voting in Federal elections. The purpose of this amendment is to add the following requirements: In-Person Voting: Voters must present a valid physical photo identification to receive a ballot. Those without one may cast a provisional ballot, but must provide the required identification or a religious objection affidavit within 3 days for their eligibility to be determined.

The Senate recorded this as
On the Cloture Motion S.Amdt. 4732 to S.Amdt. 4420 to S. 1383 (No short title on file)
To require voters to provide photo identification.
