HI HCR106

Urges the 113th United States Congress to enact federal legislation or propose a constitutional amendment granting full voting rights to District of Columbia residents.

Notes that D.C. residents (601,723 people as of 2010 census) pay federal taxes, serve on juries, and serve in the military, yet lack voting representation in Congress.

Highlights that D.C.'s population exceeds those of Wyoming, Vermont, North Dakota, and Alaska, and its economy is larger than over fifteen states.

References the 1978 congressional constitutional amendment that was ratified by Hawaii and 15 other states but ultimately failed, and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights' 2003 finding that the U.S. violated international human rights law by disenfranchising D.C. residents.

Directs certified copies be sent to the President, congressional leadership, D.C.'s congressional delegate, and Hawaii's congressional delegation.
