Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 155) to require States to permit unaffiliated voters to vote in primary elections for Federal office, and for other purposes.

H. Res. 731 is a House resolution that provides the procedural framework for considering H.R. 155, a separate bill that would require States to permit unaffiliated voters to cast ballots in federal primary elections and pursue related issues. The resolution does not change election policy itself; instead, it dictates how the House will debate and vote on H.R. 155 if it is brought to the floor. Key provisions include: moving immediately to consideration of H.R. 155 upon adoption, waiving points of order against its consideration and against provisions as amended, and allowing an amendment in the nature of a substitute to be considered (with the rule that if more than one such substitute is submitted, only the last one is treated as adopted). It also sets a limited debate window (one hour, split between proponents and opponents) and permits one motion to recommit. The rule also modifies certain House procedures to facilitate consideration of the bill. In short, this is a procedural move to fast-track debate on H.R. 155 if it advances. Note: The substantive policy—requiring states to allow unaffiliated voters to vote in federal primaries—would be contained in H.R. 155 itself. H.Res. 731 determines how that bill would be considered in the House, not the policy details.
