The Seventy-Sixth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States was ratified in 2021. This amendment primarily addresses the process of filling vacancies in the U.S. House of Representatives. It establishes a clear timeline and procedure for states to hold special elections when a representative's seat becomes vacant. Additionally, the amendment aims to enhance voter participation by requiring states to ensure that special elections are held within a specified period. This change is intended to maintain the integrity and functionality of the legislative process, ensuring that constituents are represented without unnecessary delays.
